AI photo culling — score, cluster, cull
Cull a 5,000-frame shoot down to your strongest keepers in minutes. Stock Keyworder scores every frame for focus, noise, exposure and composition, then groups near-duplicates so you only ever review the edge cases.
Built for Balanced (AI default)
- Focus, noise, exposure & composition scored 0–100 per frame
- Near-duplicate clusters — keep top N, drop the rest in one click
- Easy / Standard / Aggressive presets, or fully custom thresholds
- Mirrors stock-agency review rules (e.g. Adobe's ~3-angle limit)
- Works on RAW (CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG) and JPEG/PNG
- Originals stay on your device — only a 1280px preview is uploaded
FAQ
What does AI culling actually do?
It scores every frame for focus (sharpness), noise, exposure and composition, then clusters near-duplicates with a perceptual hash. You keep the top N per cluster and drop the rest in a single click — a 5,000-frame shoot becomes your strongest 800 in minutes.
How is this different from flagging in Lightroom or Photo Mechanic?
Lightroom and Photo Mechanic show you everything and ask you to pick. Stock Keyworder reads every frame, assigns a verdict, and groups visual duplicates so the keep-vs-cull decision is automated. You only ever review the edge cases.
Does it work on RAW files?
Yes — Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Adobe DNG, Fujifilm RAF, Olympus ORF and Hasselblad 3FR. The embedded preview is extracted in your browser; only a 1280px JPEG (~150–300 KB) is uploaded.
Can I tune how strict the culler is?
Yes. Easy / Standard / Aggressive presets cover most workflows, and Custom mode exposes focus tolerance, noise tolerance, and how many near-duplicates to keep per cluster (mirrors Adobe Stock's ~3-angle rule).
How much does it cost?
Free plan covers Index only. Culling runs on Pro and Studio at 1 credit per image. Re-runs cost 1 credit per image; cached passes don't.
