Cull a shoot
in minutes.
Open any folder, star the keepers, skip the rest — all in your browser. No upload, no import, no waiting.
🔒 100% in your browser, nothing uploaded

Pro workflow
Pick, export, and deliver. Designed by photographers for photographers who value their time and artistic vision.
How it works
Three steps. No import, no waiting.
From memory card to shortlist in the time it used to take just to import.
1
Open a folder
Point PhotoPick at any folder — an SD card, external drive, or your machine. It reads it locally, right in your browser.
2
Star your keepers
Scroll the grid or open the lightbox and tap ★ (or press S) on the shots worth keeping. Filter by photos, video, RAW, or picks.
3
Export or deliver
Save a filename list, download the picks as a ZIP, or copy & move them straight into a new folder — all on your device.
Built for real shoots
Everything you need to cull, nothing you don’t.
🖼️
RAW & HEIC previews
Renders embedded previews from CR2/CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG and more — plus HEIC/HEIF decoded in-browser.
🎬
Video thumbnails
Grabs a frame from MP4, MOV, MKV and other clips so your video takes sit right beside the stills.
⚡
Instant filter & sort
Jump between photos, video, RAW and picks; sort by capture time, name, size or date. Search by filename.
🔍
Zoom & inspect
Pinch, scroll or double-click to zoom into the lightbox and check focus — with full EXIF on the side.
⌨️
Keyboard-first
Arrow through the grid, Space/S to pick, Enter to open, +/− to zoom. Cull without the mouse.
📦
Export your way
Filename list (.txt/.csv), a zipped bundle of picks, or a direct copy/move into a delivery folder.

FAQ
Good questions.
Is my data really private?
Yes. PhotoPick is 100% client-side — there’s no server to send anything to. Your photos, filenames and picks never leave your device. Read the details →
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded it needs no network. Browsing, starring, zipping and copy/move all happen locally, drive-to-drive.
Which browsers are supported?
Any modern browser can browse and export. Copying or moving files into a folder uses the File System Access API (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera); elsewhere you get the same result via “Download picks (.zip).”
Will it change my original files?
Never, unless you explicitly choose Move — the one action that deletes originals, and only after they’re safely copied and you’ve confirmed. Everything else is read-only.
How many photos can it handle?
A single shoot of a few thousand files is smooth. Very large libraries (tens of thousands in one folder) get heavier — point it at an event folder rather than a whole archive.
Is it free?
Completely. No account, no sign-up, no limits — it’s part of the free ToolWizHub toolkit, and it’s open source on GitHub. Spot a bug? Open an issue.
Private by design. Nothing leaves your device.
PhotoPick runs entirely in your browser. Your folders are read straight from your drive and never uploaded — there’s no server to send them to.
No uploadsPhotos, videos and filenames stay on your machine. Nothing is transmitted.
No accountsNo sign-up, no login, no cookies. Just open the page and go.
Zero analyticsNo trackers or telemetry — we can’t see your files or your picks.
