Diffractor can:

View everything

View photos, play videos or audio files without changing apps. Supports most formats including RAW photos. No extra codecs needed.

Find anything

Search for any metadata attributes. Use the sidebar for an overview by date, location or file type. XMP, IPC, EXIF, ID3 and most other metadata standards supported.

Compare and sort

Compare photos and videos side-by-side. Highlight the best items with ratings, tags and flags. Prune the bad ones.

Edit and fix

Add or fix metadata like ratings, tags and locations. Simple photo edits: Resize, rotate, crop and adjust colour.

Never miss a file

Diffractor knows when files are present in your collection. Useful when you find an old memory card and want to know if you have those files or not.

Synchronise

Automatically synchronize your file collection to a NAS or network drive. Synchronization can be bidirectional - allowing you to collaborate and sync other people's changes.

Hi – I am Zac.

I take a lot of photos or videos and use my PC to review, grade and organize them. I then synchronize those files to a NAS or the cloud. This is my workflow.

I wrote Diffractor to make it easy.
