+
+**ChimpStackr** is a free, open-source focus stacking application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It merges a series of differently-focused photos into a single, fully-sharp image — with a full GUI and a headless CLI.

+
+## Features
+
+- **4 stacking algorithms** — Laplacian Pyramid, Weighted Average, Depth Map, Exposure Fusion (HDR)
+- **Automatic alignment** — translation-only or rotation + scale correction (focus breathing)
+- **16-bit pipeline** — full bit-depth preservation from RAW to output
+- **Auto-crop** — removes black edges from alignment shifts
+- **Auto-tuning** — parameters auto-detected from image resolution
+- **GUI + CLI** — full graphical interface and headless command-line tool
+- **Cross-platform** — native builds for Windows, macOS, Linux
+- **Pause / resume / cancel** — control long-running stacks
+- **Before/after comparison** — slider viewer for input vs output
+- **Drag & drop** — drop image files or folders directly into the app

+## Download
+
+Pre-built packages are on the [Releases](https://github.com/noah-peeters/ChimpStackr/releases) page:

+## CLI quickstart
+
+Headless focus stacking, no GUI required:
+
+```bash
+# Basic stack
+chimpstackr-cli --input images/*.jpg --output result.tif
+
+# Align + stack with auto parameters
+chimpstackr-cli -i images/*.jpg -o result.tif --align --auto --auto-crop
+```
+
+Available methods: `laplacian` (default), `weighted_average`, `depth_map`.
