Excire Search is a Lightroom Classic plugin for photographers who need to find material in large catalogs and choose between similar shots. Its AI analyzes photos and video clips locally without transferring them to a cloud service.

  • Text and similarity search: Find photos and clips using a written description or an existing image or video, with recognition of objects, scenes, colors, lighting, emotions and movement.
  • People and face search: Find people without existing names or keywords, or narrow results by facial features such as smiles.
  • Catalog organization: Automatically assign keywords to photos and videos, write them into Lightroom catalog fields, and combine content recognition with metadata filters.
  • Duplicate detection: Identify duplicate and near-duplicate images when reviewing an archive.
  • Photo selection: Group shots by scene, people, capture time or burst sequence, then use sharpness, facial expressions and aesthetic ratings to help select images.

Face sharpness checks help assess focus during review. A movable panel keeps search and selection tools in the Lightroom workspace and accommodates single- and dual-monitor setups.

Excire Search is paid software that works within Adobe Lightroom Classic. Its image analysis runs on your computer, with no cloud processing or data transfer.
