Chitra Studio

Chitra Studio is a native Mac app for generating and managing AI images, videos, voices, and music with over 60 models.

Chitra Studio is a media workstation application for Mac designed to generate, edit, and organize AI images, videos, voices, music, and sound effects. It provides access to more than 60 models from providers such as Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, ByteDance, Kling, and Alibaba. Users can view generation costs in credits before running prompts, compare multiple models side by side, edit specific areas of images using masks, animate stills into video clips, and add synchronized sound to videos. The app stores all files, prompts, settings, and cost histories locally in a folder on the user's Mac without server uploads. It also includes tools for upscaling, background removal, prompt improvement, audio cleanup, and cost reporting. A 14-day free trial is available, followed by a yearly subscription.
