What's in the box

No bloat. Just the things that matter at the card-to-drive step.

⌨️
Keyboard culling
P picks, X rejects, 1–5 rates. Arrow keys navigate. You never have to click anything — just work through your shots as fast as you can see them.
🤖
AI sharpness review
Local face detection, embeddings, and sharpness scoring run in the background as you browse. On Windows, DirectML is used only when the detector or embedder benchmarks faster and stays stable; otherwise Keptra falls back to CPU automatically.
Burst grouping
Rapid-fire sequences are grouped as bursts. Open one, pick your frame, collapse the rest. Shift+B grabs the sharpest shot and moves on.
🔍
Duplicate skipping
Re-insert a card you partially imported yesterday. Keptra compares filenames and sizes against what's already on disk, and skips anything already there.
📁
Folder presets
Choose a date-based preset (YYYY/MM/DD, YYYY-MM) or build your own pattern with custom tokens. Your library stays organized automatically.
🔄
Auto-import
Insert a card and Keptra gets to work without you touching a thing. Useful when you're juggling gear and just need everything off the card.
📡
FTP mirror
Set a second destination over FTP/FTPS and every import lands there too — in real time. Works with local NAS addresses or remote servers.
Checksum verify
Every file is checksummed after copying. If a single byte is wrong, you'll know before the card gets formatted. Your images arrive exactly as shot.
💾
Backup destination
Add a second local folder and every import is mirrored there. It's not a backup tool — but it means you always have two copies the moment a card is done.
How it works

Card in, keepers out

Keyboard culling and best-of selection demo

Cull at full speed — no mouse needed

P picks, X rejects, arrows navigate. Every EXIF field is visible at a glance: aperture, shutter, ISO, focal length. The filmstrip on the right tracks your decisions — green picks, red rejects, blue for your current position.

Star ratings are a single key press. You'll clear 500 shots in under 10 minutes once you stop reaching for the mouse.

Local face review with grouping demo

Local face review stays private and fast

Keptra runs an ONNX neural net in the background while you browse — no GPU required, nothing leaves your machine. Every photo gets a sharpness score, a face count, and an eyes-open check.

Blurry shots drift to the bottom of the grid. Eyes-closed flags appear before you import. You still make all the calls — the AI just removes the donkey work.

GPU face diagnostics settings demo

GPU diagnostics are plain to see

Hit import when you're done culling — only green-flagged picks go to disk. Every file is checksummed after the copy. If even one byte is off, you find out before the card gets reformatted.

Files land in your folder pattern automatically. Add a backup destination and they mirror there too. Auto-eject fires when it's all done.

Best-of burst comparison demo

Bursts collapse into one tile

When Keptra spots a tight cluster — same subject, fraction of a second apart — it stacks the frames into one thumbnail with a count badge.

Press B to fan them out and compare side by side. Sharpness scores sit below each frame. Shift+B picks the winner and moves you on without you lifting your eyes from the screen.

Auto-import from card detection demo

Insert a card, walk away

Turn on auto-import and Keptra watches for any new card. The moment one is detected, it starts scanning — no clicking, no dialogs. Files land in your date-based folders automatically.

It checks for duplicates before copying, so re-inserting a card from yesterday skips anything already on disk. Handy when you're juggling multiple bodies or backing up mid-shoot.
