Find anything

Compare and sort

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

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

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.
