Photographers who switched to Cullit.
Narrative Select Cullit
I've culled weddings, corporate headshots and brand shoots with Cullit — the AI insights and custom shortcuts make the whole workflow seamless.
Jeremy Pencil Photo Mechanic Cullit
Cullit catches shots I wouldn't have flagged as rejects until I saw them full size in Lightroom. It's completely replaced Photo Mechanic in my workflow.
Tom Healy Aftershoot Cullit
I'd tried everything to speed up my workflow and nothing stuck — until Cullit. It's like a scalpel in my toolkit: it does its one job perfectly, no bloat.

Everywhere it helps. Nowhere it decides.

- Know what's sharp. A focus score from 0 to 100, per face.
- Catch the blinks. Eyes read open, partly open or closed.
- Find the smile. Smiling or not. Read, never judged.

Frequently asked questions
- Do my photos ever leave my computer?
- No. All analysis runs on your computer, and no photo of yours is ever uploaded or used to train AI models.
- Which files can Cullit open?
- Camera RAW from the major makers — CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, DNG — and more, plus the everyday formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF). Check your camera
- Do my picks reach Lightroom?
- Yes. Star ratings and color labels are written to XMP sidecars that Lightroom Classic reads on import.
- Does it delete my photos?
- Never. Removing a photo takes it out of your Cullit project only. The file itself stays on your disk.
- How does the free trial work?
- 14 days, full features. You add a card to start the trial and nothing is charged until day 14 — cancel before then and you pay nothing.
- How many devices can I use?
- One computer with your plan, more with add-ons. A freed seat moves to another Mac; a removed Mac cannot return.
- Can I use Cullit on my phone or iPad?
- No — Cullit is a Mac app, Windows coming. Create your account from any device.
