Built for people with real cameras and real libraries.
You're past the casual snapshot stage. Live Gallery is a local, offline photo manager built for the volume, formats, and control that serious photographers actually need.
You know exactly who you are.
You're shooting RAW alongside JPEG. You've got a dedicated camera, maybe two, and a phone that adds to the pile constantly. Your library isn't a few hundred holiday snaps, it's tens of thousands of files across formats, cameras, and years, and you actually care about keeping it organised properly.
You're not necessarily running a full-time studio. But you're well past what Google Photos or a basic phone gallery app was ever built to handle.
That's exactly who Live Gallery is for.
The gap between casual and professional is real, and mostly ignored.
Casual tools like Google Photos and iCloud are built for snapshots, not serious libraries. They compress, they push you toward cloud subscriptions, and they weren't designed for
RAW files or serious cataloguing.
If you just want fast, reliable, local organisation of a serious photo library, there hasn't really been a proper option.
That's the gap Live Gallery fills.
Serious cataloguing without the cloud push.
True RAW support
Browse and organise RAW files alongside other formats.
Your library only grows. Live Gallery is built to grow with it.
Find every photo of someone specific in seconds.
Built for scale
Local face recognition
The bigger your library, the more the cloud costs you.
A casual user might not notice a monthly storage fee. At photographer volume, RAW files alone can run into hundreds of gigabytes, and cloud storage costs scale accordingly, every month, indefinitely.
There's also the processing question. Do you actually want a cloud service scanning, analysing, and indexing thousands of personal and professional images? Live Gallery runs entirely on your machine. Nothing uploads. Nothing gets processed anywhere but your own hardware.
Not a replacement for your editor. A better home for everything else.
Live Gallery isn't trying to replace Lightroom or your editing software of choice. It's built for the layer underneath that: cataloguing, browsing, organising, and finding photos across a library that's grown well beyond what a simple folder structure can handle.
Use your editor for the photos you're actively working on. Use Live Gallery as the searchable, organised home for everything, the finished work, the archive, the thousands of shots that didn't make the cut but you still want to be able to find.
Where things stand right now.
Live Gallery is currently in free public beta, capped at 5,000 images while performance and stability are refined ahead of full release. For photographer-sized libraries well beyond that cap, we'd love to hear from you directly, your feedback is directly shaping what the next tier looks like.
Organise your photos with
ease and privacy.
