About MomentSift

MomentSift groups similar photos and flags issues such as blur and closed eyes. After you confirm the keepers, you can enhance, restore, upscale, or create images in the workspace. AI suggestions aid the first review, but the final keepers are chosen by the user, who edits and exports as needed.

MomentSift runs in a browser without a desktop app. It supports importing a folder, grouping by scene, and pre-screening rejects. AI analysis uploads compressed previews and keeps originals on the device, with cloud processing used for enhancements and creations.

The tool offers options to upscale, restore faces, retouch portraits, and perform text-to-image or reference-based creation. Exports can be ZIP or a local folder, with Lightroom XMP ratings available for post-processing, and original files can be kept unchanged.

MomentSift provides a free trial with credits and photo allowances and lists paid plans and credit packs. It notes privacy details, browser requirements, and platform guidance, outlining limits and extensions across plans.

Frequently asked questions

What is MomentSift?

MomentSift helps you sort large photo collections. AI groups similar shots and flags issues such as blur or closed eyes; you decide what to keep. You can then enhance your picks, restore old photos, or create images from text or a reference photo.

Is there free AI culling software?

New accounts receive a free photo culling allowance and trial AI credits. Culling is counted per photo; enhancement and image generation use credits.

Can MomentSift cull video?

MomentSift is photo-only. It reads common image and RAW formats, including JPEG, HEIC, CR3, NEF, ARW, and DNG, but it does not analyse or cull video clips.

Will my ratings carry over to Lightroom?

MomentSift marks keepers with a five-star rating and a green label that Lightroom Classic can read. Keep the original filenames unchanged, place the sidecars next to the photos, and test a small sample in Lightroom before you process a whole shoot.
