We're Fast, Cheap, and Pretty Good
Fast Enough You Won't Make Coffee
Most batches finish in under two minutes. Upload 200 photos, get distracted, come back to sorted results.
Trained on Real Photographer Work
We learned from hundreds of thousands of real culls across weddings, families, seniors, and corporate sessions. Messy reality, not stock-photo fantasy.
Not Perfect, Still Worth It
Sometimes a 4-star should be a 5. Sometimes a 3 should be gone. We save hours and leave edge cases for your final eye.
How This Actually Works
1. Upload files. RAW, JPEG, mixed cards. We pair what belongs together.
2. Pick shoot profile. Family, events, corporate, seniors, maternity, legacy.
3. We analyze quality. Sharpness, exposure, composition, face quality, and emotion timing.
4. We assign stars. 5 portfolio, 4 delivery, 3 backup, 1-2 review/cull.
5. You review and export. Organized output, optional Lightroom/Capture One sidecars.
6. We clean up. Photos are processed and removed after export workflow.
Privacy First
Your Photos Don't Live Here.
Your original files are uploaded, analyzed, and then permanently deleted — typically within minutes of export. We keep only low-resolution thumbnails (400px) so you can review your results. No archive. No data mining. No originals sitting on our servers.
The analysis runs on our servers because that's where the compute is. But the files don't stay. You get the culled output, we get nothing.
Why Cloud Wins
No Install. No Updates. Just Open a Tab.
Desktop apps need installs, updates, and a specific machine. Our cloud approach means you can cull from any computer — your studio iMac, your laptop on location, or a borrowed machine at an event.
Some competitors advertise “files never leave your machine” as a feature. It's a real benefit for some workflows. But it also means no remote access, no cross-device results, and a heavy desktop app to maintain. We're the right tool if you value flexibility and speed over offline isolation.
Why Not The Big Guys?

|---|---|---|
| Aftershoot | $16.99/mo | Solid tool. Subscription whether you shoot or not. Technical quality only. |
| Narrative Select | $9.99/mo | Good for narrative/photojournalism. Monthly commitment. |
| CULLIT | $4.99/shoot | No subscription. Keeps the smile, not just the sharpest frown. Built for wedding, family, events. |
We are not pretending to be perfect enterprise software. We are a practical, lower-cost tool that gets you most of the way there fast.
