A private, offline photo organizer for Windows

Want to organize the photos and videos on your Windows PC without uploading them to the cloud? Loshelf is a fast, private, offline photo organizer for Windows. It works with the folders you already have, keeps everything on your own machine, and makes even a huge library a pleasure to browse.

100% offline and private

Your photos never leave your PC. No account, no cloud, no uploading, and no tracking.

Works with your existing folders

Loshelf organizes the folders already on your Windows PC in place, instead of importing everything into a separate library.

iPhone HEIC photos just work

HEIC, TIFF, WebP and more display right next to your JPEGs, converted for you automatically.

Photos and videos together

Video is first-class: hover-to-play previews, a built-in player, and notes you can pin to a moment.

Powerful search and tags

Tag, rate and favorite your photos, then filter by tag, rating, resolution, orientation and more.

Built for big libraries

Stays fast whether you have a few hundred photos or a million across several drives.

Your whole library, beautifully browsable

Loshelf turns your photo folders into a fast, gorgeous grid you can scale from tiny thumbnails to large previews. Sort, shuffle and scroll through thousands of photos without the sluggishness of File Explorer or a heavyweight cloud app.

Find any photo without lifting it to the cloud

Add tags, star ratings and favorites, then search by filename or filter by tag, rating, resolution and orientation to resurface any shot in seconds. A cinematic full-screen viewer with zoom and pan lets you actually enjoy them, all offline.

Why not just use the Windows Photos app or a cloud service?

The built-in Windows Photos app is a fine viewer, but it isn’t really an organizer: no tags, ratings, collections or deep search, and it slows down on large libraries. Cloud services like Google Photos or OneDrive upload your private photos to someone else’s servers, lean on a subscription as your collection grows, and need an internet connection. Loshelf organizes the photos already on your disk, fully offline, with a one-time price and no account.
