PowerPhotos works in conjunction with the Apple Photos app, filling in missing features that Photos itself doesn’t provide. With PowerPhotos you can manage multiple photo libraries, either splitting up an existing library into smaller ones, or merging multiple libraries together into one. You can browse and search your libraries, copy photos and albums between libraries while retaining edits and metadata, and find and remove duplicate photos.
PowerPhotos is designed to help you clean up your photo libraries and save space in the process. Its duplicate detection feature can be used to delete extra photos in your library and reclaim disk space and space used in iCloud. If you want to further cut down iCloud usage, PowerPhotos can help split up your library into multiple libraries, so that you can store many of your photos locally on your Mac in separate libraries while still keeping some of your photos in iCloud.
If you already have multiple libraries, PowerPhotos can merge those libraries together, while weeding out duplicates in the process. If you have old backups or libraries from other computers or family members, PowerPhotos can consolidate them all into one library for you. It can even merge and convert old iPhoto or Aperture libraries you have lying around. PowerPhotos also has an advanced export function, a global menu bar item for easy library switching, multi library searching, the ability to open libraries in separate windows, and much more.
PowerPhotos 2.0 can be downloaded for free and offers many of its features for free. Purchasing a license will unlock advanced features such as library merging, deletion of duplicate photos, and unlimited photo copying and exporting.
