SwipeCull Desktop Lite

Try Professional Photo Culling for Free SwipeCull Desktop Lite is the free version of SwipeCull Desktop, a professional photo culling tool built by a photographer for photographers. Experience the complete workflow with up to 30 photos per session and 10 exports. No ads, no time limits, all features included. Selection Shouldn't Slow You Down As photographers, we know the drill: you come back from a shoot with thousands of RAW files, and before the creative work begins, there's the grind: culling. SwipeCull Desktop was built to fix that. This is photo selection done right: fast, distraction-free, and designed by someone who lives this workflow every day. Why SwipeCull Desktop? Instant Previews, Zero Wait Load embedded JPEG previews from massive RAW files (.NEF, .RAF, .CR2/CR3, .ARW, .DNG) in a blink. Work directly from your memory card or drive without waiting for heavy editors to launch. Two-Key Culling That Feels Like a Game Hit Space to approve, X to reject, Z to go back. Customize every shortcut to match your rhythm. Culling becomes intuitive, almost meditative. You'll fly through images before you know it. Non-Blocking Import Start culling the moment the first previews load. The app continues caching thumbnails in the background while you work, so nothing stands between you and your flow. Smart Session Management Take a break, close the app, or switch projects. Your progress is saved. Automatic session recovery means you'll never lose your work, even if you accidentally quit. Filters at Your Fingertips (CMD+F) Instantly view only approved shots, only rejected ones, or everything at once. Switch views on the fly to review your selections or find that one keeper. Camera Rating Support Flag your favorites in-camera, and SwipeCull reads those ratings from sidecar XMP files on import. Your pre-selection work travels with you. No re-flagging needed. Professional Export with Smart Renaming Use flexible naming templates with variables like {job} and {seqn} to maintain consistent file naming. Set primary and secondary backup destinations and keep your archive organized. Smooth, Responsive Interface All heavy lifting (scanning, caching, copying) happens in isolated background threads. The interface stays buttery smooth no matter how many files you're working with.
