# StarTrail-org/PixelRAG

> PixelRAG is a visual RAG system that renders web pages, PDFs and images into screenshot tiles and retrieves over the images directly, preserving tables, charts and layout lost when parsing to text.

## Useful for

- Answer a question about a table or chart in a PDF that text-based RAG loses
- Give Claude eyes: screenshot a page via the pixelbrowse plugin and read the image
- Build a FAISS index from your own documents and serve a local search API with pixelrag serve

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 00:09–23:37: 10179 → 10191 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
- Over the last two days the pace is 4× that of the previous week and a half.
- About 9 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 886
- Issues and pull requests: 170
- Watchers: 42
- Average over the last week: 14 per day
- Usual pace: 12 per day
- Latest release: v0.4.0 (2026-07-16)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
