RAW is a first-class citizen.
Browse and catalogue RAW files alongside JPEGs and everything else. No separate converter just to see what is in the folder.
For photographers
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.
- RAW + JPEG together
- Built for large libraries
- Nothing uploaded
A local library, on your desk.
You know exactly who you are
This is not a phone gallery with a bigger window.
You’re shooting RAW alongside JPEG. You have a dedicated camera, maybe two, and a phone adding to the pile constantly. Your library is tens of thousands of files across formats, cameras and years.
You’re not necessarily running a full-time studio, but you’re well past what Google Photos or a basic phone gallery was ever built to handle.
Built for the long game.
The beta is capped at 5,000 images while performance is tuned. The engine and the licence tiers are designed for libraries far beyond that.
Faces, without the cloud.
Local face recognition lets you find every frame of a person in seconds, without sending a personal archive to a server for analysis.
The real cost
Your library only grows. The cloud bill does too.
At photographer volume, RAW files alone can run into hundreds of gigabytes. Cloud storage costs scale accordingly, every month, indefinitely. And the service is scanning and indexing a professional archive it does not own.
- No monthly storage fee for your own files
- No upload wait before you can browse
- No third party analysing the archive
- A one-time licence instead of a rolling subscription
The library stays on the drive you chose.No sync layer
A different layer
Not a replacement for your editor. A better home for everything else.
Live Gallery isn’t trying to replace Lightroom or the editing software you already know. It is the layer underneath: cataloguing, browsing, organising and finding photos across a library that has outgrown a simple folder tree.
Use your editor for the frames you are actively working on. Use Live Gallery as the searchable, organised home for everything — the finished work, the archive and the thousands of shots that didn’t make the cut but still need to be findable.

Live Gallery is in active beta, capped at 5,000 images while performance and stability are refined. For photographer-sized libraries well beyond that cap, we want to hear what your workflow actually needs.
