About Cull: AI Photo Culling
Cull does the first pass on a photo shoot for you — entirely on your device. Import a shoot and Cull scores every frame for the things that decide a keeper: sharpness, eyes open or closed, and exposure. It groups the near-identical shots into moments, stars the best of each burst, and lets you keep or reject at a glance. What took an evening now takes minutes. THE FREE FIRST PASS • On-device AI scoring — every frame rated for focus, eyes, and exposure. No cloud, no account, no waiting on an upload. • Best of each burst — near-duplicates grouped into moments with the strongest frame starred for you. • Fast keep / reject — swipe or tap through a shoot, zoom to 100%, and see exactly why each frame scored the way it did. • Straight into your editor — export standards-based XMP sidecars (picks flagged, stars as ratings), a JPEG folder, a Photos album, or a CSV. • Private by design — photos never leave your device, and your originals are never modified or deleted. THE PRO TOOLKIT — ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER • Compare mode — 2–4 frames of a burst side-by-side with synced zoom and pan, then "Pick this" to decide the whole moment. • Focus map — a heat overlay showing exactly where focus landed in the frame. • People view — the shoot grouped by person: see everyone's blinks, sweep them per person, and confirm every person has a keeper. • Custom profiles — dial the AI's strictness from conservative to aggressive, and let it learn from your overrules. • Pro export pack — full-resolution JPEGs of your picks, plus custom XMP label colors and reject mapping. Pro is a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. BUILT FOR REAL SHOOTS Portrait, event, sports, wedding — pick a grouping profile that matches how you shoot. RAW supported, including CR2/CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, and DNG. Works fully offline; you can use it in airplane mode. Cull — the first pass, done.
What’s new
Version 1.3.1 · Updated October 13, 2026
Import straight from your camera card. • Choose a whole memory card or any folder and Cull now finds the photos inside its subfolders, such as DCIM/100MSDCF on Sony cameras. Previously only photos at the top level were picked up. • If a folder really has no photos in it, Cull now tells you instead of returning to an empty screen. • Folder imports now keep access to every file until the import finishes.
