Organize your photos

Photos is an easy-to-use, fast photo organizer. It allows you to import photos from your camera or disk, organize them by date and subject matter, even ratings. It also offers basic photo editing, like crop, red-eye correction, color adjustments, and straighten. Photos' non-destructive photo editor does not alter your master photos, making it easy to experiment and correct errors.

Photos supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and a variety of RAW file formats.
