The ultimate toolbox for Photos on your Mac

PowerPhotos works with the built-in Photos app on your Mac, providing an array of tools to help you get your photo collection in order.

Create and manage multiple libraries

Instead of being limited to putting all your photos in a single library, PowerPhotos can work with multiple Photos libraries, giving you many more options for how to organize your ever growing photo collection.

Splitting your photos between multiple libraries helps Photos open more quickly, lets you archive older photos, store some of your collection on an external hard drive, and reduce storage space used by iCloud Photo Library.

You will be shown a preview of what your merged library will look like before any modifications are done, to ensure your merged library looks how you want.
