Pixieset Launches AI-Powered Photo Editor for Culling, RAW Editing and Client Delivery

digital · 2026-10-15

Pixieset has introduced Photo Editor, a new application for desktop and browser that facilitates culling, RAW editing, and batch processing, thereby improving its gallery and studio management capabilities. Compatible with Windows and macOS, it necessitates either an Apple M1 processor or an RTX 2060 GPU, with Google Chrome being the preferred browser. Most AI functionalities work locally, whereas AI Generate and AI Erase utilize Pixieset's cloud servers, ensuring images are not utilized for AI training purposes. Users can cull images in batches, apply AI Styles, and edit manually. The editor supports multiple formats and allows direct exports to Pixieset Client Gallery. Free accounts permit unlimited culling and editing but restrict exports and AI credits; subscriptions unlock additional features. Standalone access is priced at $18/month or $144/year, with no mobile version available.
