FAQ

Any other questions?

Will my photos be uploaded?

No. Recognition, text extraction and the search index all run on your iPhone, and PicSeek doesn't send photos to a server. When it looks up place names, a photo's approximate coordinates are handed to Apple's maps service to be turned into a place name.

How long does the first index take?

It depends on how many photos you have. PicSeek works from newest to oldest and keeps going while your iPhone is charging and idle. You can start searching the part that's done at any time.

What can I do with the free version?

The free version can index and search up to 1,000 photos. For more, upgrade to Personal (20,000 photos), Plus (50,000) or Max (100,000).

How do I keep some photos from being scanned?

Add them to the "PicSeek Do Not Scan" album that PicSeek creates, and they'll be skipped.

How are subscriptions billed and canceled?

All three plans are auto-renewing once a year, billed by Apple. You can cancel anytime in iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions.
