Only for Mac

Mac

Find your best shots. Skip the heavy lifting. PicSift is the simple way to find the keepers in a pile of photos. Point it at a folder or your Photos library, and it ranks every shot from best to worst — so you stop scrolling and start deciding. No darkroom, no endless panels. Just your photos, sorted by what's actually good. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your photos are personal, and PicSift treats them that way. Scoring happens entirely on your Mac — no account, no tracking, nothing collected, and nothing sent to us or anyone else. The only place your photos go is where you put them: a folder, or your own Apple Photos library. WHY PICSIFT A camera roll fills up fast. After a trip or a party, the handful of shots worth sharing are buried in hundreds that aren't — and digging them out means scrolling, second-guessing, and an hour you won't get back. PicSift takes that off your plate. It scores the whole set in one pass and brings the best to the top, so you can pull your keepers, share them with the people who'd love them, and move on. Easy by default, with real control the moment you want it. YOU DECIDE WHAT "BEST" MEANS Other apps make the call behind a black box. PicSift opens it and hands you the dials. It rates each shot across six qualities — Overall Appeal, Sharpness, Lighting, Composition, Faces, and Subject — then lets you tune how much each one matters. Drag the priorities and your photos re-rank instantly, right in front of you. Care more about sharp focus than mood? Pull the slider and watch the order change live. Switch between a simple two-axis control and a full six-dimension chart whenever you want more — or less — precision. Don't want to fiddle? Smart Auto reads each set and sets strong defaults for you, tuned toward the kind of shots you actually keep. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import — from any folder, drive, or your Photos library 2. Score — six quality dimensions, every shot, entirely on your Mac 3. Sift — browse best-to-worst, tune your priorities, keep or skip 4. Export — send your keepers to a folder or save them to a Photos album MORE WHEN YOU NEED IT - Visual Search — type "sunset at the beach" and find it. No tags, no setup. - People — group photos by face and name the regulars. - Duplicates — spot near-identical shots and keep the best one. - Smart Albums — your best work, gathered automatically. BUILT ON OPEN RESEARCH PicSift's scoring rests on open, published work — research other people shared freely so tools like this could exist. Every model it uses is named and credited in the app's Model Library, with links to the original papers and licenses. If you like to know what's under the hood, it's all right there. No subscription for the essentials. Find and export your best shots for free; unlock unlimited runs, every scoring style, and People browsing with a one-time purchase. Less time sorting. More time with the shots that matter.

Export, your way. Choose where your keepers go — a folder on your Mac or Apple Photos, including straight into a new or existing album — and export web-ready JPEGs that keep your capture details. Faster with big libraries. Smoother scrolling, quicker switching between Sift, People, and Duplicates, and snappier search. Better duplicates. A set can now keep more than one photo, and click-to-select with double-click-to-open matches the Finder. Plus dozens of fixes: exports always deliver your originals with full metadata, and naming people, resolving duplicates, and your keep list save more reliably.
