Excire Foto is the right thing if:
You are looking for a powerful and reliable photo management software: manage your photos with Excire Foto and use your favorite app for editing. Keywords can be stored in the photo- or XMP files, so that they can be used in the Windows or Mac Spotlight search. Metadata can also be transferred to Capture One and other apps. Further workflows are described in the Excire Foto tutorials.

Excire Search 2 is the right choice if:
Adobe Lightroom Classic is your standard photo management software. Our Lightroom Classic Plugin “Excire Search 2” is fully integrated in Lightroom Classic providing all the information you need to manage your photos and save metadata in photos or XMP files if desired.

The functionalities of Excire Foto and Excire Search 2 are almost identical. Please note, however, that the databases of both products are independent of each other and the images must be initialized for both. Many customers opt for the convenient bundle that provides more flexibility

Excire Analytics is a powerful extension of Excire Foto 2022 that we recommend for all Excire Foto users. Excire Analytics cannot be used with the Excire Search 2 plugin.
