We are pleased to announce that Excire Foto has been named “Best Imaging Software” in the Photography News 2025 Awards!
After being nominated earlier this year, Excire Foto went on to take the top spot in a competitive category that included both photo-editing tools and photo-management software. Despite the impressive competition—Excire was up against popular programs such as Adobe Lightroom and Capture One—Photography News readers ultimately selected Excire’s AI-powered image manager as the winner.
Now in their tenth year, the Photography News Awards are unique in the industry. While shortlisted products are selected by the Photography News editorial team based on hands-on experience, technical achievement, and reader feedback, the final winners are chosen entirely by the publication’s readership. Each year, the awards span every corner of modern imaging, including cameras, lenses, and lighting to accessories and software.
With its one-of-a-kind AI toolkit—including natural-language prompt search, automatic keywording, intelligent culling tools, duplicate detection, and facial-recognition software—Excire helps photographers rapidly find files and stay organized. As a result, Excire users can spend less time on tedious image-management tasks and more time creating images. We’re proud that this practical, photographer-first approach resonated with the Photography News readership.
Excire Foto, along with the other 2025 award winners, is featured in Photography News Issue 125. If you’d like to see the full list of winners and learn more about this year’s awards, you can read the entire issue for free here.
Once again, thank you to everyone who voted and continues to support Excire. We’re incredibly proud of this milestone, and we’re even more motivated to keep improving Excire for photographers everywhere.
