Testimonial of JF Barré for CYME

J-F Barré

Bayonne, France
I’ve purchased an annual subscription and am delighted! I have added some old Aperture catalogs and I use the faces I had defined in there to find the photos and then Peakto shows me the same ones in Capture One (which of course does not do facial recognition) so I haven’t lost my old face definitions! Fantastic! Thanks so much!!!

So far, the functionality is great. I’m most excited by the frequency of releases and ongoing innovation. Ultimately, I invested because of your very clear roadmap, with some confidence and trust that the features would come. Keep going!
Testimonial of Rob West

Congrats and especially Thanks for this first initiative that will (finally!) streamline access to the various digital asset management solutions that photographers have “endured” for the past 20 years…
Testimonial of Richard Courcet for CYME

Richard Courcet

Nantes, France

Peakto is an incredible product. It far exceeds the features of other image catalogues that I’ve used, and I’ve used plenty over the years. I particularly like Peakto’s approach of not trying to do everything, not moving my image files, and allowing me to edit the masters in the programs of my choosing.
Testimonial of Christopher Werby for CYME

Christopher Werbt

San Francisco, USA
Peakto is different. Finally an application that allows me to manage all of my 350,000 photos in one place. Previously spread across years of multiple Aperture and Lightroom libraries, now consolidated in one single app. The dev team actively responds with request and questions, often surprising me with better solutions than I was looking for.

Frequently asked questions

What is Peakto?

Peakto is an intelligent media manager designed for videographers and photographers. It centralizes your photos and videos from multiple sources — editing software, catalogs, hard drives, servers, or NAS — into one unified space.

 

Thanks to its artificial intelligence, Peakto automatically identifies the content of videos and images, allowing you to quickly find the files you’re looking for. It streamlines the organization, search, and sharing of your media, even within collaborative projects.

To obtain Peakto software, follow these steps:

 

  1. Purchase Peakto: Visit the Peakto store and choose between a subscription plan or an unlimited license.
  2. Download Peakto: After completing your purchase, you will receive an email with a link to download the software.
  3. Trial Period: Note that the 7-day trial period is only available with subscription plans.

 

How does it work?

Provide your payment information via credit card or PayPal. You will not be billed for the subscription until the end of the 7-day trial period. The free trial automatically converts to a monthly subscription (1, 12, or 24 months) unless canceled before the end of the trial period. After the trial period ends, all license purchases are final and non-refundable.

The Peakto app for Mac can be installed on two computers. Additionally, you can access your Peakto library from any connected device — without limitation — through Peakto’s secure web interface. Simply log in to your account from any web browser to browse your media. No files are stored in the cloud — Peakto acts as a local server, giving you private and remote access to your content.

 

With the Pro version, Peakto is installed on a single Mac and can be accessed by authorized collaborators via the web interface. The administrator can invite users by email to view, search, and download media from any browser and device (PC, tablet, or smartphone).

Peakto is optimized for Macs equipped with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4…), but it also runs on Intel-based Macs with a powerful GPU. The software requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later and is fully compatible with macOS 15 (Sequoia). For smooth performance, the following is recommended:

 

  • 2 GB of free disk space (more depending on the size of your library)
  • At least 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
  • A fast SSD if Peakto files are stored externally

 

Note: An active copy of the supported software (Aperture, Lightroom, Capture One, etc.) is not required to use Peakto. The app can read their libraries natively.

Peakto is compatible with a wide range of photo and video software:

 

Video editing software:

 

  • Final Cut Pro v11 (beta)
  • Adobe Premiere Pro 2024 and 2025 (beta)

 

Supported video formats (via macOS): AV1, AVC / XAVC / XFAVC, Apple Intermediate Codec, Blackmagic RAW, CineForm, DNxHD, DNxHR, DVCPRO HD, H.263, H.264, H.265 / HEVC, HDV, MPEG IMX, XDCAM EX / HD / HD422.

 

Video containers: .avi, .braw, .dv, .m2ts, .ts, .mp4, .m4v, .mxf, .mkv, .mov.
