Three steps to find a photo
- 01
Add a small collection
Add a few familiar photos. Reference mode leaves originals in place.
- 02
Build the visual index
Wait for the visual index before searching by text or image.
- 03
Describe, refine, and open
Describe a scene, filter as needed, and open a photo to check it.
Search scope and limits
Read the guide- Search covers imported media, rather than pictures across the web.
- Similar pictures do not establish identity or copyright ownership.
- For missing results, shorten the query, clear filters, and check the index.
Common questions
How is this different from finding similar pictures on the web?
The desktop app searches your local library. The separate Free media page searches public stock sources.
Do I need to tag every picture first?
No. Once indexed, photos can be searched by their content. Tags and folders help narrow the results.
Can I search while my external drive is disconnected?
You can search existing indexes. Reconnect the drive at its recorded path to open or export originals.
