Tag-AI

A powerful, privacy-focused photo tagging solution that uses AI to automatically organize and categorize your images, all while keeping your data on your device.

Overview

Tag-AI is an intelligent photo management tool that leverages advanced AI to automatically tag and organize your image collection. Whether you're a photographer, designer, or just someone with thousands of photos, Tag-AI helps you find exactly what you're looking for in seconds.

Using either local LLaVA vision models or Google's Gemini API, Tag-AI can analyze images while respecting your privacy preferences - no cloud uploads required unless you choose to use them.

Key Features

Dual AI Processing Options

Choose between local processing with Ollama's LLaVA model for complete privacy, or opt for cloud-based analysis with Google's Gemini for enhanced accuracy.

Fast SQLite Database

All tags and metadata are stored in a robust SQLite database with full-text search capabilities for lightning-fast queries across thousands of images.

Smart Natural Language Search

Find images by describing what's in them. Search for specific objects, scenes, colors, or compositions and get instant results from your library.

Raw File Support

Process and tag professional camera RAW formats including NEF, CR2, ARW, DNG, RAF and more, alongside standard formats like JPG and PNG.

Multi-threaded Processing

Process large batches of images in parallel, leveraging your GPU for faster analysis when available, while keeping your system responsive.

Metadata Integration

Push generated tags directly to your image files' XMP metadata, making them available in other applications like Adobe Lightroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tag-AI a subscription service?

No. Tag-AI is available for a one-time purchase with a perpetual license. Once you buy it, it's yours to keep and use forever with no recurring fees.

Does Tag-AI require internet connection?

Tag-AI only needs internet for the initial download, license activation, and if you choose to use the optional Gemini API for cloud processing. With local LLaVA processing, you can analyze images completely offline.

Does Tag-AI send my photos to the cloud?

Only if you choose to. Tag-AI gives you two options: fully local processing with Ollama's LLaVA model where nothing leaves your computer, or enhanced tagging with Google's Gemini API which requires sending compressed versions of your images for analysis.

Do I need a powerful GPU to run Tag-AI?

While a supported NVIDIA or AMD GPU will significantly improve processing speed, Tag-AI can run on CPU-only mode if you don't have compatible GPU hardware. The setup wizard will automatically detect and configure GPU acceleration when available.
