Made by a photographer.
Grain Photo is built by Giles Van Gruisen, a photographer making it for his own large archive of photos and videos.
A working archive doesn’t live in one place. It spreads across years of shoots and client folders, internal and external drives, and formats from RAW to ProRes. Grain Photo makes all of it searchable where it already is, without importing it into another library.
Alongside the tools you edit with.
Grain Photo doesn’t replace your editor. It’s where you find, view, and gather your work, before and after the edit.
- Your editing app
- Keep editing in Lightroom, Capture One, or whatever you use now. Grain Photo reads the ratings and keywords they save to XMP.
- Grain Photo
- Search the whole archive by description, browse it by folder, filter by camera or date, and gather picks into collections.
- Your files
- Stay on the drives where you keep them. Grain Photo keeps its ratings, keywords, and collections in its own catalog and never writes to originals or XMP sidecars.
