What is pixelfin?
Pixelfin is a local web application that connects to your Jellyfin server to inspect and manage artwork across your media libraries. It provides visual galleries to spot missing, low-resolution, or high-resolution images for posters, backdrops, logos, and other artwork types. You can edit images directly in the app using Jellyfin's image providers, generate standalone HTML gallery reports, and export or restore artwork via ZIP files with dry-run previews. The app runs via Docker or Python, requires a Jellyfin API key, and includes multiple built-in themes including dark mode. It is designed for personal use on trusted networks only.
