Google-like Search

Modern cell phones and cameras capture more than just images – they embed valuable data like location, timestamp, and more into your photos. Pitara intelligently processes and indexes this data. So you can instantly search for photos using combinations of keywords like:

  • “From 10 years Summer weekend 7:30 PM”
  • “Christmas Hawaii”
  • “Oregon 2002”
  • “Cute long hair”
  • “15kfeet” (photos taken at 15,000 feet)

The possibilities are endless. Check out a list of sample searches to learn more.

Custom Tags Management

  • Add/remove TAGs to an entire collection of photos at one go.
  • Instantly search photos using added TAGs.

Pitara generates automatic catalogs for easier photo organization:

  • Places: Catalog of all the places you’ve visited (e.g., Seattle, New Delhi, New York).
