PhotoCulling - Your Simple Photo Culling Assistant

The Challenge Every Photographer Faces

As photographers, we've all been there. After an exciting photo shoot, you return with hundreds, if not thousands, of photos. Each RAW+JPEG pair holds potential, yet the thought of culling through them all makes your heart sink. Traditional software either demands lengthy import processes, struggles with large files, or lacks professional photo viewing features needed for efficient culling.

Introducing PhotoCulling

PhotoCulling is a simple browser-based photo management tool designed specifically for photographers who value efficiency, precision, and simplicity. We've reimagined the culling process from the ground up, focusing on what truly matters: helping you find your best shots, faster.

Privacy-First, Speed-Always

Unlike cloud-based solutions, PhotoCulling runs entirely in your browser. Your photos stay on your computer, ensuring complete privacy while delivering lightning-fast performance. No uploads, no waiting, no compromises.

A Workspace That Works For You

• Customizable Layout: Arrange your workspace exactly how you want it. Whether you prefer a large preview with thumbnails below or a face closeup view, PhotoCulling adapts to your workflow.
• Keyboard-Driven Efficiency: Navigate, mark, and manage photos without touching your mouse. Every common action has a keyboard shortcut, making culling as natural as taking photos. And best of all - every shortcut can be customized to match your personal preferences and what feels most comfortable to you.
• Smart RAW+JPEG Management: Culling with both formats? PhotoCulling automatically pairs them, ensuring your selections stay in sync.

Professional-Grade Preview

• Crystal Clear Details: Toggle between fit-to-screen and 1:1 pixel view with a single keystroke. Zoom in to check focus, examine details, and make confident decisions.
• Intelligent Loading: Our smart preloading system ensures smooth navigation even with thousands of photos.
• EXIF Information: The technical details you need are just a glance away, helping you understand why some shots worked better than others.
