Frequently asked questions
What is Peakto?
Peakto is a game-changing photo organizer that gathers all your photos and videos in one app. Peakto is like the hub that centralizes all your images, no matter what hard drive they are stored on, the cloud they are saved on or the editing software they have been modified in. Peakto is like a control tower that gives you an always up-to-date and complete view of all your images.
Peakto is a Mac application that you install on your computer. You can connect all your photo and video libraries to Peakto using a simple drag and drop. Peakto will give you a preview (not a copy) of each image/video and let you navigate smartly among them (thanks to filters) without modifying your original files or your organization.
Peakto can regroup your catalogs from Apple Photos, Aperture, Lightroom & Lightroom Classic, Luminar Neo, Capture One, ON1 Photo RAW, Pixelmator Pro, DxO PhotoLab/PureRAW, Topaz Photo AI, FotoMagico, iView Media–and from your folders and hard drive.
You can try Peakto for free for a limited period of time. Peakto is available through either subscription (1, 12 or 24 months), or through a one-time purchase.

What does a photo manager do?
Peakto is a universal photo manager. It allows photographers to gather, view, and manage all their photos from a single interface, with the help of AI. Peakto consolidates thousands of photos and videos scattered across folders, hard drives, Apple Photos, and photo software like Aperture, Lightroom & Lightroom Classic, Luminar Neo, Capture One, ON1 Photo RAW, Pixelmator Pro, DxO PhotoLab/PureRAW, Topaz Photo AI, FotoMagico, iView Media. By bringing everything together in one interface, Peakto offers unique centralized photo organization features, enhanced in this new version 2.0:
See Everything
No more trying to find media by sorting through files. Peakto generates a preview of all images and videos, providing an ideal visual navigation to quickly find what you need. There’s no need to be connected to your NAS or hard drives to show your entire portfolio, organize it, and create selections. Peakto 2.0 includes a new video player and generates a contact sheet for each video to facilitate this effective and intuitive visual navigation.
Organize Everything
Peakto allows you to annotate and delete from a single interface for a unified, faster, and more relevant organization. This centralized viewpoint makes it easy to choose photos to delete and free up memory. Person identification is one of the new features of version 2.0. It allows you to identify individuals in images from multiple sources within the same interface. Using photos of the same person automatically grouped by AI, photographers can tag hundreds of shots with a single click.
Peakto enables the creation of selections from content coming from multiple sources. It serves as the control tower from which photographers manage all their images and edit a photo in their chosen editing software with a single click. Always synchronized, Peakto reflects the latest changes made to an image, and Peakto 2.0’s synchronization performance has also been accelerated.
Rediscover
Thanks to its central role, Peakto offers unique perspectives: automatically sorted views of all photos by category; map views of all images. Version 2.0 introduces a new Timeline view, allowing navigation through a chronological timeline and sorting images by specific dates, while adding filters. Finding Anna from the summer 2022 shoot in Venice becomes a breeze.
Automate
Peakto uses AI to save photographers time in organizing their photos. The AI can not only assign keywords automatically but also recognize the content of a photo. In this version 2, prompt-based search also applies to videos, enabling the retrieval of a specific scene in a film from a simple description. Peakto is the perfect tool to help photographers find the right content for the right project, whether in their archives or their most recent shots.
Can Peakto convert catalogs from one format to another?
No, but you can use Avalanche to convert your catalogs.
