All or a portion
Export the whole library or just the selection in front of you. The filters you use to find photos can shape what leaves.
Export · coming soon
A clean copy. On your terms.
The export tool is being built for the moment a library needs to leave the app. Choose all or a part of it, filter as you go, and shape the output without changing the source.

Planned export
Take a clean copy, not the whole mess.
Export is a separate output tool: choose the part of the library you need, filter duplicates and noise on the way, and write a new set of files into a clean structure. The library and its source folders are not rewritten.
Year, or year and month
The planned layout can write folders by year, or by year and month, so the export arrives as a browsable archive rather than a flat dump.
Shaped for the destination
Planned options include resizing or cropping to a maximum such as 1080p, choosing a format, targeting a file size and embedding metadata in the exported copies.
Choose the set
Start with the whole library or a filtered selection, then decide whether duplicate copies should be left out.
Shape the output
Pick the year/year-month layout, maximum size, format and metadata options for the destination.
Export to a new folder
Write the new files to a location you choose. The originals and their source folders stay untouched.
The honest part
Coming soon, and separate from write-back
- Export is not in the current Beta 2 build. It is the next output tool, not a shipped button.
- Metadata write-back into the original will not be supported. Export writes new copies; it does not edit the source.
- Duplicate filtering in an export is a selection rule, not a delete or clean-up of the source library.
Good questions
Export, answered.
Is export available now?
Not in Beta 2. The export tool is coming soon. It is being designed to export all or a portion of the library.
What can the export tool do?
The planned tool can filter duplicates as it exports, organise output by year or year and month, resize or crop to a maximum such as 1080p, choose a format or target file size, and embed metadata in the new files.
Does export write back to my source photos?
No. Export writes new copies to a folder you choose. Metadata write-back into the original files will not be supported.
Will the export include duplicates?
That will be a choice. The planned tool can filter duplicates as it exports, so the output can be a cleaner set than the source.
