Made for creators who review too much media.

Pix-Cull is for the moment when Finder, Preview, and heavy catalog tools slow down the creative decision.

AI image & video creators Sort through Midjourney, Runway, Kling, Veo, ComfyUI, and reference outputs without turning the process into a mess.
Editors & filmmakers Review clips, B-roll, references, and selects before they enter the editing timeline.
Storyboard & visual thinkers Turn selected images into a clear sequence before the story gets lost in the folder.
Mac users who hate heavy catalogs No cloud workflow. No bloated library. Just fast local review and selection.

01 — Library

Open a folder.
Start reviewing.

Select any folder on your Mac and review images, video clips, audio, PDFs, and references without building a heavy catalog.

Works with local drives, external SSDs, and network volumes. Just point Pix-Cull at the folder and start choosing.

02 — Keep & Delete

Keep. Delete.
Done.

Move files to your chosen destination folder with one click. Send the rest to Trash just as fast.

Set the folder once, then every file you keep goes exactly there.

03 — Best Mark

★ Stamped on
the filename.

Mark a file as Best and a star is added directly to its filename. Visible in Finder, in any app, forever — even after you close Pix-Cull.

No proprietary format. No database. The star lives in the name itself.

04 — Storyboard Window

Add to Board.
Shape the sequence.

Send selected Library items into a dedicated Storyboard Window. The queue, A4 preview, and inspector stay visible so every cut has context.

Scene and cut fields help turn a fast image selection pass into a production-ready board without leaving Pix-Cull.

05 — Print Preview

Save the board.
Print the page.

Save a local .pixstory package for the storyboard, then review a clean print-ready layout before output.

The print preview keeps cuts, camera notes, and descriptions organized for handoff or review.

06 — Calendar

Your work,
tracked by date.

Every file is tagged with when it was created. The built-in calendar shows exactly which days you worked and how much.

Tap any date to see only that day's media — nothing else. Great for reviewing a specific shoot or session.

Built from the trenches,
for everyone in them.

I work as a VFX & AI Supervisor — across pre-production and post-production, AI has become a core part of how I create. Concept frames, storyboards, environment references, character studies — the output is relentless. Hundreds of images a day. Sometimes thousands.

At some point, the folder stopped being manageable. No tool did exactly what I needed: open a folder, see everything at once, make fast decisions, and turn the strongest selects into a usable sequence. So I built one. That tool is Pix-Cull.

If you're a photographer, a director, an AI artist, an editor, or anyone who has ever stared at 800 nearly-identical files and thought "there has to be a better way" — you're the reason this exists.

Keep the cuts that matter.
Build the story only you can choose.

This industry is moving faster than any of us expected. AI can generate endless options, but the creator still chooses the story. Pix-Cull helps you move through the flood faster and keep the pieces that matter. $12.75 welcome price, one-time, no subscription.
