Best Shots · AI Culling · Elite
You fire off a burst to get the shot — then ten almost-identical frames sit in your library forever. Best Shots groups each burst, scores every frame for sharpness, faces and open eyes, and stars the one to keep. You review, the rest go to the Trash. Nothing is ever deleted automatically. 100% on-device, no cloud, no account.
Every kid's birthday, every jumping-shot, every "hold still, one more" — you hold the shutter and get five, ten, fifteen frames. One of them is sharp with everyone's eyes open. The other fourteen are blinks, motion blur and half-smiles. Deleting them by hand means squinting at near-identical thumbnails, so nobody ever does it. The duplicates just pile up and eat your disk.
Best Shots does the squinting for you. It groups each burst, scores every frame for sharpness, face quality and whether eyes are open, and stars the single best keeper. You glance at the group, agree or pick your own, and clear the rest in one click — to the Trash, never permanent deletion, always undoable. The chore that never happened is now ten seconds.
How it works
FolioSort finds shots taken within about 3 seconds of each other that also look alike — real bursts, not just photos that share a timestamp.
Each shot gets a score from sharpness, face quality and open eyes. The highest-scoring frame is starred as the suggested keeper.
Three live sliders re-weight sharpness, faces and eyes. Suggestions re-rank instantly — no re-scan — and your manual keeps stay put.
Keep only the best, keep all, or hand-pick. Non-keepers move to the Trash or a folder — undoable.
What makes the best shot
Culling you can trust
The scary version of auto-culling deletes your only good frame while you're not looking. Best Shots is the opposite: it never removes anything on its own. Every burst is shown with its suggested keeper, and only the frames you confirm are cleared. A running "space to free" counter shows exactly what your current selection will reclaim before you commit.
Non-keepers go to the Trash or a folder you choose, never straight to permanent deletion, and the last batch can be restored with one click. It's the same checksum-verified, fully undoable engine behind every FolioSort tool — running entirely on your PC, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
Why it's safe
My camera roll was 60% burst frames I was too lazy to sort. FolioSort grouped them, starred the sharp one with everyone's eyes open, and I just clicked through agreeing. Got back a shocking amount of space in a coffee break — and nothing was gone for good, it was all sitting in the Trash.
Best Shots thins your bursts down to the keepers. Find Duplicates removes the exact copies. Find Blurry Photos clears the frames that were never sharp to begin with.

A burst is a group of shots taken within about three seconds of each other that also look alike — the frames you fire off trying to get the one good one. FolioSort groups them using EXIF capture times plus a visual-similarity check, so unrelated photos taken at the same moment don't get lumped together.
Every frame is scored for sharpness, face quality and whether eyes are open, and the highest-scoring frame is starred as the keeper. You control the mix: three live sliders re-weight sharpness, faces and open eyes, and the suggestions re-rank instantly with no re-scan. Any frame you keep by hand is always preserved.
Never. Best Shots only ever suggests — you review every burst and choose what to remove. Non-keepers move to the Trash or a folder you pick, nothing is deleted permanently, and the last batch can be undone with one click.
No. All grouping and scoring runs entirely on your PC — no cloud, no account, no upload. Your photos never leave your computer.
Any photo with an EXIF capture time can be grouped into bursts; photos without one are simply skipped and reported. Face-quality and eyes-open scores apply when faces are present — landscapes and other shots are still scored on sharpness.
