Photodex
Find the photographs worth keeping.
Browse, arrange, edit, and review local photographs in one workspace. Switch between photo cards, film contact sheets, natural-proportion masonry, a focused side-grid viewer, and freeform mood boards. Crop and adjust photographs without changing the originals, then turn selected shots into social photo grids, collages, contact sheets, or edited copies.
What you can do
Choose your view
Choose photo cards, connected film contact sheets, masonry, Focus with a side grid, single-photo viewing, or selected-photo comparison.
Build a mood board
Create freeform mood boards: move, resize, tilt, layer, and snap photos. Send the composition to Photo Sheets for custom-sized images, PDF, or printing. Use solid or transparent backgrounds and save or load reusable layouts.
Edit your photos
Crop, rotate, flip, straighten, and adjust color for selected photographs or an entire set. Add custom frames while preserving the original files.
Inspect and review
Find visually similar shots by appearance, color, or composition, compare near-duplicate candidates, and select match sets for review or batch editing. Inspect with a loupe, add notes, and extract photo colors into an exportable palette.
Export your work
Pack selected photographs into social grids, collages, and contact sheets. Set exact pixels or print dimensions, customize grids and crops, and export one image, matching sheets in a ZIP, or a PDF.

What sets it apart
RAW/JPEG pairs appear as one photograph while retaining their original files.
Local preview caching and bounded original decoding support large photo collections.
Supporting capabilities
Basic folder browsing and viewing are available in preview. Comparisons, ratings, analysis, settings, and exports require the $10 Photodex license or the Creative Apps Pass.
Best used on a desktop browser. Folder selection uses the browser folder picker; photographs are processed locally.
RAW-only previews currently support Fujifilm RAF files. Other RAW formats need matching JPEGs.
Review decisions are saved in this browser. Export a CSV to keep a separate record.
Native file copy, move, and Recycle Bin operations are available only with the local Windows service; the website provides review and export.
