It helps you quickly pick your best shots right after the shoot — on the go, with no need to import files or connect to the internet. Built-in AI analyzes your photos for sharpness, closed eyes, duplicates, facial expressions, and movement to help you select the best images in seconds. Access photos directly from memory cards, external SSDs, or folders — sort them on your iPhone or iPad, and once you’re home, simply transfer the results into Lightroom, Capture One, or any other editor that supports XMP. Also works with the standard iOS photo library — including automatic AI photo analysis. Key Features of PhotoPicker: 1. AI & Manual Culling • Smart AI detects blur, closed eyes, duplicates, facial expressions, and motion to find the best shots in a series. • Prefer manual culling? Swipe up to keep, down to reject. • Apply flags, star ratings (1–5), and color labels — all saved to XMP automatically. 2. No Import Needed • Cull photos directly from memory cards, external drives, or any folder in the Files app. • XMP files are saved alongside your images — ready for import into your favorite editor. 3. Lightroom Classic Integration • Open and cull Lightroom Classic catalogs right in the app. • Flags, ratings, and color labels are synced back to the catalog. 4. Custom Catalogs • Create your own catalogs with JPEG and RAW files. • RAWs are not duplicated — the app works with file references. • Use flexible export options: copy XMPs, remove rejected files, and more. 5. Fast Compare & Review • Tap to quickly flip between photos, even in zoomed-in view. • Check focus and expressions in detail without leaving review mode. Why Photographers Choose PhotoPicker: Designed by photographers, for photographers, PhotoPicker gives you maximum freedom to sort, flag, and rate — no extra steps, no clutter.

Really amazing. Very fast, quality of the previews is amazing, retains RAW applied film simulation and camera settings, instant transitions between photos (vs. the annoying fade-out effect with lightroom). And keyboard shortcuts are great ! The things why it’s not a 5-stars: - really heavy on battery, think 50% battery in two hours of use. - can’t open directly picked photos to an app (lightroom) they have to be exported first to a folder. - can’t rename catalogs. Would be super useful : be able to keep zoom level when switching between photos, be able to see RAWs instead of embedded JPEGs. Ability to Move picked files instead of copying them when you click « Move picked RAW to folder ». Abolity to move rejected to a folder instead of just only having the option to delete them. I am keeping my subscription tho to support the developer. -- amnazrz, 2022-11-16 ### *---- "Found bugs after 5 min" Was looking for a app to fill in the photo managing gap in an iOS photo editing workflow. This app is not it. I’m a hobbyist photographer. I would pay a 1 time price for a good app (like affinity photo), but I won’t pay a monthly fee - that’s strike 1. I downloaded / tested this app just to see how it works - only took 5 min to find a significant bug. I used the filter function to narrow down to 2 pictures, then I exported them to a new album. When it was done exporting, it said it had exported 5 pics - I checked, sure enough it did. I filtered / exported 3 different times using different criteria which resulted in 3 or 4 pics. Each export had 5 pics in it??? If it can’t filter/export the pics I want, how can I possibly use this app (plus, I won’t pay monthly for an app). -- Another failure 2, 2022-10-15 ### ***** "This is exactly what I’m looking for!" For someone who travels a lot, and often doesn’t have a computer with me, I do a lot of my photo editing and organization with my iPad, however, the main thing that was missing was a process similar to Lightroom or Bridge to quickly and efficiently narrow down a whole memory card’s worth of images. Now I can quickly find the handful of images I’m interested in in the 700 or so that will be on my card. I do all of my photo editing on Affinity Photo, and am able to export the photos I want into an iOS photo album and go from there with Affinity Photo. I will be happy paying for this excellent app moving forward as it will make my mobile photo editing life much much more efficient and easy! Thank you for the wonderful app Roman, and for working with me and incorporating more features into it! This is great! -- cheeseburger720, 2020-01-08 ### ****- "Tried on a Trip" Took this app for a Europe trip this fall on an iPad Pro. Worked well with 1800 photos after coming up with several work-arounds. It is setup for importing all the photos at once. If you add photos to the same album in Photos from another day of shooting PhotoPicker doubles up on the previously added photos. It does not recognize duplicates. Found if each day’s photos go into a different album then add that to PhotoPicker all is good. Also need to turnoff off sending to iCloud your Photos app and iCloud Backup for the iPad otherwise it will max out iCloud storage unless you have a very big allotment. These problems can be overcome if it take full advantage of iPadOS 13.0. One less step of importing into Photos then PhotoPicker would simplify the process. Understand there is a change that may allow the use of external storage, hope so. Also hope that while importing it can do a backup at the same time. Will be taking it on another trip in December along with Lightroom to see which does the best grading job. -- Photo Chuck, 2019-11-18 ### ***** "Life-changing!" The first time I used the app it didn’t work perfectly - I contacted the developer, and within a day they had it updated and fixed. I just signed up for their Pro subscription and have culled three weddings with it today, absolutely perfectly! Culling on an iPad is so, so much more enjoyable, I did these in half the time it takes me to do an average wedding. The subscription fee is the best value I’ve spent in years! Thanks guys for the great work! -- JonPShar, 2019-11-13 ### ***** "Absolutely worth the money!!" Why are you expecting something for free? The person spend a lot of time to write this app, and deserves those 9$ for an awesome application. It saves a lot of time and you don't have to sit behind the computer all day. Being a photographer, I absolutely enjoy. -- oleksandr melnychuk, 2017-06-10 ### *---- "So an app developer walks into a bar..." Which is just another way of saying, are you kidding me? I download the app. Open the demo file that comes with it. Immediately get a notice that this demo app can only process 50 photos max, please go to the App Store to buy the full version. Exit app. Delete from system. -- artministry, 2016-02-29 ### ***-- "Needs DropBox Support" To the developer: I couldn't find a way to contact you so I'm using a review. The process of transferring back and forth needs to be easier. Add the ability for the app to save/access the catalog on DropBox or other cloud. It would be nice to access it on DropBox directly without zipping it first, but if it needs to be zipped that would be fine too. Here's my suggested workflow: Zip my catalog and previews on the computer. Put it in DropBox. Open the app and import from DropBox. Make ratings, etc, in the app. Save back to DropBox. Copy Catalog back to Computer. If you can make it do that, I'll buy the full version. -- brdavis3, 2014-02-06 [View all AI Photo Culling reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## AI Photo Culling In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Pro Version (1 Month) | $1.99 | | Pro Version (1 Year) | $19.99 | | Pro Version (One-Time) | $39.99 | ## Apps Similar to AI Photo Culling -
