What QuantileCull is
QuantileCull is paid Windows software for local AI photo culling, aimed at professional wedding, event, and conference photographers. Six listed checks assess open eyes, facial sharpness, burst duplicates, motion blur, subject presence, and composition quality. Processing runs locally and works offline without cloud uploads. The software previews RAW files and supports batch culling actions. For Lightroom Classic, it writes ratings, flags, and color labels as XMP sidecars without changing original RAW assets. The Professional plan also lists Capture One workflow integration. The privacy description says RAW, JPEG, and TIFF files, metadata, selection decisions, and sidecars stay on the user’s machine. License validation and version checks are transmitted, while client data, photo analytics, and AI-training telemetry are not. Windows 10/11 64-bit is supported; macOS is described as coming soon. A 14-day local trial is free, and Professional costs $59.00 USD once for a Version 1.x lifetime license.
