Powerful search

Filter by tag, rating, resolution, video quality, duration and more — combine filters to find anything fast.

Define your own fields, like a year, an artist, a rating out of 100 or a yes/no, on images, videos and folders, then filter by them right in the search bar.

Tags & ratings

Add descriptions, star ratings and reusable tags to any image or video.

Built-in video player

Hover previews, saved playback positions and a clean player.
