Description
PhotoPicker is a convenient and powerful iOS app designed to help you cull and organize thousands of photos from your photo library, Lightroom catalogs, custom collections, or even directly from folders without any prior import.
Perfect for both enthusiasts who want to organize their photo albums and professional photographers who can start sorting immediately after a shoot, even on the go.
New AI Feature: Automatic Culling
PhotoPicker now uses AI to analyze your photos automatically! The AI detects blurry shots, closed eyes, duplicates, and selects the best images from a series. Save time and sort thousands of photos in just minutes.
Key Features:
1. AI-Powered and Manual Sorting in the iOS Photo Library
• Let AI pick the best shots or sort manually using swipes: up for keepers, down for rejects.
• Add selected photos to “Favorites” and send unwanted ones to the “Trash.”
• Assign color labels and star ratings (1 to 5), automatically organizing photos into corresponding albums.
2. Work with Lightroom Catalogs
• Easily import Lightroom catalogs into the app in various ways.
• After sorting, export the changes back to the catalog, which can be opened directly in Lightroom Classic on your computer.
3. Custom Catalogs
• Import photos into a catalog (JPEG/RAW). RAW files are not copied but stored as references.
• Flexible export options allow you to copy XMP files directly to the folder with the original photos or delete rejected images from the memory card.
4. Work with Photos in Folders
• Sort photos directly on a memory card, external drive, or any folder on your device without prior import.
• The results are saved as XMP files, ready for import into photo editors.
5. Batch Operations and Filters
• Apply filters by criteria (flags, ratings, labels) and perform batch actions such as changing ratings and color labels.
6. Fast Navigation and Detail Evaluation
• Tap the screen edges to navigate: right for the next photo, left for the previous one.
• This function even works in zoom mode, allowing precise evaluation of sharpness and details.
Why Choose PhotoPicker?

Ratings and Reviews
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!

Fantastic, almost perfect
Amazing piece of software, exactly what I was looking for, for culling photos on the go with an ipad and mini keyboard without importing first into Lightroom. 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.
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).
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. The fact is that when exporting results to a standard photo library, it happens for all photos that have a green flag. Thanks to your feedback, we got the idea to add another option when exporting, which will copy all the files that are the result of filtering. We plan to add this in the next update.
