PhotoCull AI
What it is
PhotoCull AI is a free browser tool for photographers that analyzes images and sorts them into Keep, Maybe, or Reject. It scores sharpness, exposure, noise, color, and vibrance, while also examining composition and EXIF metadata. TensorFlow.js BlazeFace detects faces in portraits, and the app analyzes eye focus, catchlights, and blinks. Grid, Large Grid, and Filmstrip views support keyboard culling, side-by-side comparison, sorting, and filters. Analysis metrics and EXIF data can be exported as CSV. The maker says processing happens locally in the browser and photos stay on the user’s machine. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are listed as modern browsers. The free plan is free with an 80MB file size limit. RAW files are not supported, and EXIF support is JPEG-only. Processing is single-threaded, so batches of 500 or more photos will be slow. Lightroom XMP sidecar export is listed on the roadmap, not as an available integration.
