Manage RAW Photos Without the Hassle

Browse, cull and organize RAW files from every major camera — no import, no proprietary catalog.

Lap RAW photo manager showing camera and lens filters

Lap decodes RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic and more, so you can cull and organize straight from the memory card.

How it works

  1. 1. Decode RAW in place — Lap reads CR2, NEF, ARW and more directly from your folders — no import.
  2. 2. Pair RAW with JPEG — Group each RAW with its same-named JPEG/HEIC companion as one item.
  3. 3. Cull with comparison view — Use the four-pane viewer to pick keepers from near-identical frames.
  4. 4. Filter by camera and lens — Narrow by the gear that shot each photo — metadata only RAW carries reliably.
