Excire Foto 2027 is a standalone photo and video management program for enthusiast and professional photographers. Excire offers AI-powered tools—such as free-text content search, automatic keywording, people search, Smart selection, and duplicate search—to help you find, organize, and cull your images more efficiently. Excire also includes the features photographers expect from a modern photo-management application. You can organize images with collections, ratings, color labels, and flags; edit metadata; add GPS information; and explore your library using tools such as Map View and the Timeline Graph. Everything runs locally on your computer for complete privacy.
Once you have downloaded the software, you will need to install Excire Foto 2027 on your computer.
For Mac users: Under macOS, please unzip the appropriate ZIP file and mount the appropriate disk image (DMG file). Then start the installation program, which will guide you through the installation step by step.
For Windows users: Open the downloaded executable file (*.exe) and follow the installation instructions.
Excire Foto 2025 supports the following image formats:
.3fr, .arw, .cr2, .cr3, .crw, .dcr, .dng, .erf, .heic, .heif, .iiq, .kdc, .mef, .mos, . mrw, .nef, .nrw, .orf, .pef, .ppm, .raf, .raw, .rw2, .rwl, .sr2, .srf, .srw, .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfi f, .png, .pgm, .tif, .tiff, .psd, .webp, .hif
Please note that some compressed variants of these formats are not supported by Excire or the libraries Excire uses. We therefore recommend you test Excire Foto with your own photos before buying.
For Windows users, we recommend installing the Microsoft Raw image extension: Download
Files with the extension .heic or .heif have been supported since version 1.1.1. For macOs users, the HEIC format is processed automatically. In Windows environments, the HEIC format is not natively supported. In order to display .heic files, the system must support HEVC compression. To do this, you can install, for example, both of the following extensions from the Microsoft Store, which are offered by Microsoft Corporation:
HEIF image extensions (free) and HEVC Video Extensions (paid)
To use Excire Foto 2027, an Excire user account is required and the software must initially be activated via the activation code. The exact details can be found in the following article in our Help Center:
You will receive regular updates, such as bug fixes and/or minor improvements, for free. Only upgrades, which include major improvements and significant new features, are paid. However, existing customers always receive a substantial discount for such upgrades.
Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. This is not due to Excire, but rather the methods currently used for image analysis. These methods were trained with millions of photos on specialized hardware.
The entire process takes place in an elaborate offline procedure that lasts several days. It’s the only way to achieve maximum recognition performance. (Note that our solution is a compromise between the best recognition performance and minimal runtime, as our software runs on customer computers, not in the cloud.)
Such AI models cannot be trained with just a few examples, and if they are, the recognition performance is often unacceptable.
If you need help, just have a look at our Help center. You can also use Excire Foto 2027 to send us a bug report.
