Keeping large photo collections organized can be a bit problematic, especially without specialized software. Thankfully, most advanced photo viewers provide users with an easy, albeit not perfect, way of dealing with this issue.
By far the best way to organize large photo collections is to employ the services offered by specialized apps, one of which is Tonfotos.
What does Tonfotos actually do?
Tonfotos is a photo organizing software, and what this is means is that it greatly “simplifies browsing of large photo collections by grouping shots by events, dates, people, locations, and so on.
All of its tools are wrapped around a fairly modern and decent-looking GUI that makes it simple even for the average user to organize and find photos regardless of them being stored on the computer, or other external strage units.
Best features of the app
We’ve gone over what the app does, now let’s talk about how it does it. One of the best features of Tonfotos is the fact that it can detect faces of people in your photos, and make the whole organization process a lot smoother as a result.
Unsurprisingly, this is done with the help of a modern neural network. The devs behind the app even go as far as state that this technology recognizes people regardless of their age (since their traits only change slightly), and can even work with partially visible faces.
Another key feature of Tonfotos is that it works, as mentioned before, with all sorts of storage devices. For example, the app should work jsut as well with external hard-drives as it does with cloud-based folders. The app also supports RAW and HEIC files (and can even help you convert them to more popular formats such as JPEG or PNG).
Of course, Tonfotos allows you to also import photos from your smartphone, create family ties between people, delete duplicate images, view vidoes, as well as group photos by location thanks to its interactive map and geo-tagging feature.
Last but not least, we have to mention the app’s GUI. Even though it’s not the most stylish GUI, it strikes a perfect balance between functionality and user-friendliness.
Verdict
Tonfotos is a very good application if you’re dealing with extremely high number of photos. The app is avaialble for free, just as long as you’re aware that the “face recognition” feature is only limited to 5 people.
