Photography News Editor Adam Duckworth reveals how AI-powered Excire Foto turned years of disorganised folders into a searchable archive

Managing a huge photo archive can quickly become overwhelming. In this video I test Excire Foto 2025, an AI-powered photo organisation tool designed to help photographers find images instantly using natural language search.

With automatic keywording, facial recognition, duplicate detection and AI-assisted culling, Excire promises to turn chaotic photo libraries into something searchable and useful again.

I tested it on my own archive of more than 150TB of images to see if it really works.

Topics covered:
• AI photo keywording
• Natural language search
• Duplicate and burst detection
• People recognition
• AI-assisted culling
• Photo archive analytics

Excire Foto 2025 was recently voted Best Imaging Software in the Photography News Awards.

If you’re struggling to organise your growing photo library, this software might be exactly what you need.
