Frequently asked questions
How many photos can MIRA handle?
The desktop app for Windows and Mac sorts up to 10,000 photos per collection, the browser up to 1,000. If your archive is bigger, split it into several collections, for example by year.
How much does it cost?
Trying is free: MIRA sorts up to 1,000 photos and you look through the folders. You pay once per collection, no subscription: $29 for up to 10,000 photos with the desktop app, $9 for up to 1,000 in the browser.
Do I have to upload my photos?
No. MIRA reads the photos on your computer and only sends small previews to the AI, your originals stay with you. In the browser we delete the previews after 48 hours. Your photos are never used to train AI.
What happens to duplicates?
MIRA puts identical files, for example from several backups, in the Trash. Of near-identical photos, the best stays in the folder, the others wait in Similar Photos. Nothing is deleted, and when you export you choose which folders come along.
Do my originals stay unchanged?
Yes. MIRA never moves, changes or deletes your originals. When you export, the desktop app copies the photos into new folders, with date and subject in the file names if you like. Your old archive stays as it is.
Does MIRA run on Windows?
Yes. MIRA Desktop is available for Windows, also in the Microsoft Store, and for Mac. Pick the top folder, like Pictures or your external drive, and MIRA reads all the subfolders too.
Is MIRA safe on Windows?
Yes. In the Microsoft Store, Microsoft checked MIRA, and it installs without a warning. Only the .exe from the website gets a warning, because Windows warns about new programs without a Microsoft signature: click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. MIRA never changes or deletes your photos.
Why not just use the Windows Photos app?
It shows your pictures by date, but it doesn't create real folders by occasion. MIRA makes folders like “2018 Ski holiday” that you can open on any computer or drive.
Who's behind MIRA
I'm Simon, the developer of MIRA. After three months in Southeast Asia I had 1,847 photos on my memory card, and I knew I'd never sort them myself. That's how MIRA started.
