PhotoPicker is an AI-assisted photo culling app built specifically for iPad and iPhone users who work with large numbers of RAW photos. Whether you’re shooting weddings, portraits, sports, or events, PhotoPicker helps you sort thousands of images in record time — directly from your SD card or external drive, with no need to import them into the Photos app or cloud storage.

At the core of PhotoPicker is a powerful AI culling engine that analyzes your images and automatically suggests the best shots in a series. It helps detect technical issues like motion blur, closed eyes, and duplicates — so you can focus on creativity, not manual sorting.

⚡ Why AI Culling?

Culling is often the most time-consuming step in a photographer’s workflow. PhotoPicker’s AI saves hours by: • Grouping similar images (bursts, bracketed sets, etc.) • Suggesting the sharpest or most technically correct shot in each group • Highlighting photos with common issues like closed eyes or missed focus • Prioritizing expressions and framing, so you see the most usable shots first

Despite its intelligence, AI never makes final decisions for you. You’re always in control, with full visibility into what was suggested — and the ability to override, accept, or ignore any recommendation.

🔍 Browse from SD Cards — No Import Needed

Unlike traditional photo apps, PhotoPicker lets you work directly from your SD card or external SSD. Simply connect the card reader or drive to your iPad or iPhone and start culling immediately. There’s no waiting for import, and no bloated cloud sync.

This makes PhotoPicker ideal for on-the-go workflows — for example, culling a shoot on the plane ride home, or starting selections while your files are still on the memory card.

📁 Export XMP for Lightroom & Capture One

Once you’ve made your selections, export flags, ratings, and color labels as XMP sidecar files compatible with Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, and other pro editing tools. No metadata gets lost in the process, and no need to change your established workflow.

Want to copy or move only your selects? You can do that too — directly to any folder or connected storage via the Files app.
