Here at Excire headquarters, we’re always looking to get Excire software reviewed by photography publications. We genuinely believe in our product, and in our experience, once photographers try Excire, they absolutely love it.
Over the past few months, we’ve been excited to have Excire reviewed by three industry-leading publications: Amateur Photographer, ePHOTOzine, and DIYPhotography.
Each gave Excire a glowing review. Here are the highlights!
“Organising Photos Has Never Been Easier” — Amateur Photographer
In Amateur Photographer’s recent review of Excire Foto 2025 and Excire Search 2026, the magazine performed in-depth tests of both the standalone software and our Lightroom Classic plugin, ultimately giving Excire a 4.5/5 stars.
Amateur Photographer emphasized Excire’s ease of use, speed, and cutting-edge AI tools, writing, “If you’ve been looking for a photo and video management software that’s easy to use, effective, works locally and truly takes the drudgery out of organising your photos, you may have found it.”
“This Amazing Software Is Very Effective” — ePHOTOzine
ePHOTOzine published an appreciative review of Excire Foto 2025, highlighting the program’s wide-ranging toolbox of time-saving photo-management features, including AI-assisted culling, automatic keywording, and AI search.
Excire received a 4.5/5 star rating, with the reviewer noting: “The ability to quickly search for images in many ways without having to keyword or rate them beforehand is a huge benefit … [T]here’s no denying that it’s an excellent, very capable product worth trying.”
“Excire Feels Like A Shortcut to Productivity” — DIYPhotography
Last but not least, we have DIYPhotography; the review was complimentary, highly detailed, and covered both Excire Foto 2025 and Excire Search 2025.
The DIYPhotography reviewer emphasized the time-saving benefits of Excire software: “By removing the unnecessary friction from search, organisation, and culling, Excire allows photographers to spend less time managing files and more time actually working with images.”
And the reviewer also highlighted situations where Excire becomes essential to a photographer: “Excire really comes into its own when you’re dealing with large, long-term, reusable image libraries, the kind that grow year after year and don’t just get filed to the archives once a project is delivered.”
A Clear Consensus
What’s striking across all three reviews is how consistent the takeaway is. The three publications all came to the same core conclusion: Excire makes photo management faster, easier, and far more intuitive.
So for photographers seeking an easy-to-use program that’ll save you time and help you keep your entire image archive in order, Excire is an excellent choice.
Thank you to all the publications that reviewed Excire!
