Natural Language Search
Find any photo by describing it—subject, mood, light, or cinematic reference. Three search modes, no query length limit, no tagging required.

Photoreka is the AI curation layer for your body of work. It sits on top of Lightroom Classic, Google Photos, Dropbox or local folders and analyzes your library once—making it searchable in natural language, scored for quality, and mapped by visual similarity.

The approach
Most photo organizers ask you to rebuild your library inside their system. Photoreka takes the opposite approach: your files stay exactly where they are, and the intelligence comes to them.
Explore your archive
Once analyzed, your library stops being a grid you scroll. Fly through it as a map, navigate it as a vocabulary, or read it as a report on your own work.
Every photo you kept takes its place on a single map, in 2D or in 3D, clustered by what the images actually are—composition, color, subject, mood—not by the folder they landed in. Dense continents are the work you keep returning to. The dark space between them is the work you haven't made yet.
How it works
One analysis pass over the photos you kept replaces years of manual tagging, rating, and album building.
Link your Lightroom Classic catalog via the official plugin, connect Google Photos or Dropbox, or upload local files. Photoreka works from compressed previews—your full-resolution originals stay on your machine.
Computer vision processes each photo to extract semantic tags, multi-dimensional quality scores, visual embeddings, and near-duplicate signatures. Analysis runs in the background at roughly 1,000 photos per hour.
Search in natural language, sort by quality dimension, browse the tag cloud, fly through the 2D/3D similarity map, or see everything on a world map. Every view is generated automatically—zero manual organization.
Once organized, the real work starts: find the frames that carry the work, surface hidden gems, and build sequenced selections with the Portfolio Builder—for exhibitions, photobooks, or client delivery.
Features
Organization is not folders and stars. It's being able to find, rank, and understand any part of your archive in seconds.
Find any photo by describing it—subject, mood, light, or cinematic reference. Three search modes, no query length limit, no tagging required.
Learn moreEvery photo receives semantic tags across mood, environment, subjects, weather, and more—browsable as an interactive 2D tag map of your whole vocabulary.
8 artistic criteria—from aesthetics and composition to storytelling and originality—rank your catalog so your strongest work surfaces automatically.
Learn moreSee your body of work as a navigable space where similar photos cluster together. Spot themes, gaps, and stylistic shifts no grid can reveal.
Near-duplicate detection flags over-shot sequences and redundant frames, so your organized catalog starts from an intentional body of work.
Photos with GPS land on your world map automatically—and AI geo-inference recovers locations for the archive shots that never had GPS metadata.
Learn moreExcire Foto, Peakto, and Mylio are capable organizers built for everything you've ever shot: import it all, keyword it, find it again—Excire and Peakto even add an aesthetic score to help you pick. Photoreka works one step later, on the photos you kept, and reads them as a body of work: how they relate, what they say together, and which ones carry it.

FAQ
What photographers ask before organizing their library with AI
Photoreka is the layer most DAMs are missing: intelligence. It doesn't store your originals or replace your folder structure—it analyzes your library and gives you semantic search, quality scores, automatic tags, and visual maps on top of the storage you already use (Lightroom, Google Photos, Dropbox, or local files).
No. Your files stay exactly where they are. Photoreka reads your existing sources—including your Lightroom Classic catalog via the official plugin—and builds its analysis from compressed previews. Nothing is moved, renamed, or reorganized.
Excire Foto and Peakto are organizers built for everything you've shot: they import, keyword and find your whole library, and both add an aesthetic score to help you pick the best frames. Photoreka works one step later, on the body of work you kept—up to 50,000 photos. Instead of one global score it rates each photo on 8 artistic criteria, reads the collection as a whole (patterns, gaps, style reports, an AI assistant for your catalog) and helps you sequence portfolios. It also runs in the browser on any OS (Peakto is Mac-only, subscription-based) and is paid per analyzed batch instead of a subscription.
No—it complements it. Lightroom remains your editor and catalog of record. Photoreka adds what Lightroom doesn't have: natural language search, AI artistic scoring, style reports, and visual maps of your whole archive. The Lightroom Classic plugin keeps both in sync.
The Atlas shows your entire catalog as a navigable 2D or 3D map. Photoreka extracts a visual embedding from every photo—composition, colors, subjects, mood and lighting as numbers—and projects them with UMAP, a dimensionality-reduction technique that keeps similar photos close together. The clusters that form reveal your recurring themes and how your work has evolved.
No. The Atlas runs in modern browsers using WebGL, and any computer with reasonably recent graphics—even integrated graphics from the last five years—can navigate thousands of photos smoothly. There's nothing to install.
A word cloud shows tags by frequency and a tag list sorts them alphabetically. The tag map places them by meaning: tags that share meaning or appear in the same kind of scene sit close together, using UMAP on AI-generated semantic embeddings. Click a tag, drag a rectangle over several, or turn on dynamic search to browse your photos by moving across the map.
Reports are built from the AI scores of every photo plus metadata such as date, camera settings and detected subjects. They cover quality distribution, evolution over time, style, strengths and gaps, patterns, and individual sessions. You get basic insights from about 50 photos; for meaningful trends, 200 or more spread over time works best. Reports update as your catalog grows.
Up to 50,000 photos—and that limit is deliberate. Photoreka is built for the photos you kept, not every photo you shot: the selects that survive your first pass, across projects and years. Every photo is analyzed in the context of the rest of your catalog, so a focused body of work gives clearer clusters and more meaningful scores and reports. Duplicate detection is built in for the stragglers.
Photoreka only stores a reduced version of your images on secure servers for analysis. Your photos are not shared with anyone and you retain 100% of the rights to your work. Analysis uses proprietary and third-party services under agreements that prevent retaining or reusing your photos.
No. Analysis is a one-time batch payment per set of photos. After that, most tools are usable for free with daily limits, or with credits for unlimited access. There is no monthly fee to keep what's already analyzed.
Yes. Photoreka is a cloud-based AI photo organizer: it runs entirely in your web browser, with no software to install and no OS-specific build. That means it works the same way on Windows, Mac, and Linux—unlike desktop organizers such as Peakto, which is Mac-only.
Connect your sources, let the analysis run, and open a catalog that finally answers back. Your files never move.
