Lupa
Lupa (Spanish for “magnifying glass”) is a free application that transforms how you explore your local image collections. It’s designed for anyone with folders full of photos who wants to rediscover them in meaningful ways.
What It Does
Create vaults—simple folders on your hard drive filled with images. Lupa indexes them intelligently, opening up new ways to explore:
- Semantic search: Find images by describing what’s in them, not just by filename
- Color-based search: Discover images by their color palette
- Visual similarity: Find images that look similar to ones you love
- Light search: Search based on lighting conditions and mood
Your images stay local, private, and under your control. Lupa just helps you see them in new ways.
