It can't. Nothing is deleted, and you're still the one choosing. DeepCull scores every photo against around ten criteria for your genre and shows you the reason behind each score: focus, expression, eyes, the moment. Every file stays exactly where you put it, and you can overrule any call in one keystroke. Most AI culling tools hand you a star rating and ask you to trust it. We show our work, and that's the whole product.

No. Your RAW files never leave your computer. DeepCull uploads low-resolution previews to score them, and that is all that ever moves off your machine. If you shoot corporate or conference work under NDA, this is the answer your client's procurement team is looking for.

DeepCull is FilterPixel's genre-specific AI culling engine. Unlike basic culling that picks technically sharp photos, DeepCull understands your shooting genre. Conference Mode identifies keynote moments, speaker expressions, and sponsor branding. Sports Mode recognizes peak action and sharp focus on moving subjects. Concert Mode handles the hardest lighting in photography: stage LEDs, smoke, strobes. Wedding Mode prioritizes emotional peaks and ceremony highlights. Every selection comes with a score and a reason, so you can trust AI decisions when the deadline is in 30 minutes. Each DeepCull shoot processes up to 5,500 photos.

Other AI culling tools learn your editing style and pick technically sharp images. FilterPixel understands your genre and picks the editorially right images: the keynote standing ovation with the sponsor banner in frame, the midfielder's strike at the moment of contact, the lead guitarist at the peak of the solo. Score + Reason transparency means you can see WHY every photo was selected. No black box. When you're trusting AI at midnight with a 9am deadline, you need to see the why.

One shoot = one import session in FilterPixel, up to 5,500 photos. One wedding, one conference, or one sports event each count as a single shoot. If your project has more than 5,500 photos, FilterPixel automatically splits it into multiple shoots from that month's shoots (e.g., a 10,000-photo shoot uses 2 shoots).

Yes. Add an extra DeepCull shoot anytime for $7.99. No subscription required, never expires, includes all genre modes and full Score + Reason transparency. Perfect for seasonal sports shooters, touring concert photographers, or anyone who wants to try DeepCull before committing.

DeepCull goes deeper than four broad modes. Sports alone ships 16 sport-specific profiles: Basketball, Baseball, BMX, Boxing & Combat, Cricket, Cycling, American Football, Gymnastics, Ice Hockey, Marathon & Running, Rugby and more, alongside Conference, Concert and Wedding. Conference reads keynote moments, speaker expressions, audience engagement and sponsor branding. Sports reads peak action and focus on fast-moving subjects. Concert handles mixed stage lighting and peak performance over transitions. Wedding prioritises emotional peaks and ceremony highlights. Each profile ships with around ten scoring criteria, and every one is editable, so you decide what counts as a keeper for your work. Skip the picker and DeepCull selects the profile for you.

Both. Every paid plan includes AI editing: white balance, exposure, contrast, colour grading and the rest of the Lightroom develop parameters, written back as editable settings, not baked-in pixels. Instant Profiles learn your look from your own catalogue and are unlimited on every paid plan, including Standard. Pro and Studio add crop & straighten and JPEG export at any quality, so a shoot can go from card to delivered gallery without leaving FilterPixel.

Through FilterPixel Galleries, which is coming soon. Publish a shoot to a link or a QR code without leaving FilterPixel, and your client opens the gallery on their phone, at the venue, if you publish before you pack up. Every plan includes 50 GB of cloud storage for galleries.

Two ways, both coming soon. Face Search will let a guest take a selfie and see only the frames they appear in. Jersey Number Search does the same for sport. Type a number and get that player's photos. It saves a parent at a game or a delegate at a conference from scrolling the whole gallery, and it saves you from fielding the requests afterwards.

Every photo DeepCull evaluates gets a numerical score and a text explanation of why it was selected or rejected. Example: "Score: 94. Reason: Keynote standing ovation, sponsor banner visible, audience engaged." This transparency is the trust mechanism. It lets you verify AI decisions in minutes instead of re-reviewing everything.

Buy an extra DeepCull shoot for $7.99 anytime. One-time purchase, never expires. Add-on shoots stack on top of the shoots your plan gives you each month.

FilterPixel automatically splits large shoots. A 10,000-photo project uses 2 shoots from that month's allowance. You'll see a confirmation in the app before processing starts so you know exactly how many shoots will be used.

No. On a monthly plan your shoots refresh at each monthly renewal and unused ones do not carry forward. On an annual plan you get the full yearly figure on the card upfront, to use at any point in the year, and it resets at your annual renewal. Add-on shoots you buy for $7.99 are the exception, and those never expire.

Magic Number lets you tell DeepCull exactly how many selects you want from a shoot. Need 200 delivery-ready photos from 5,000 conference RAWs? Set Magic Number to 200. DeepCull returns exactly that, ranked by relevance, scored and explained. Available on Pro and Studio plans.

No. Editing is included in your plan and there is no per-photo fee. Edit 500 photos or 50,000 and the price on this page is the price you pay. Instant Profiles are unlimited on every paid plan, so you can build a separate look for each client or venue without paying per profile either. The only metered item is DeepCull shoots, and an extra shoot is a flat $7.99.

Yes. Upgrade anytime and get immediate access to your new plan's features and shoots. Downgrade at the end of your billing cycle.

Yes, and no credit card. You get 3 DeepCull shoots free, up to 1,000 photos each, so 3,000 photos you can run through genre-specific AI culling on your own work. You also get one trainable AI profile, so you can see how close the editing gets to your look before you pay for anything.

Yes, within 10 days of your first payment, on monthly and annual plans, if the software fails on our end: persistent crashes or freezes, or failed uploads and processing. Email accounts@filterpixel.com with your account email and what went wrong, and we will respond in 3 to 5 business days. What we do not refund is a change of mind, which is what the free trial is for, and we cannot refund a DeepCull shoot that has already been processed. Auto-renewal charges are not refundable either, so cancel or pause before your renewal date if you do not want the next cycle. The full terms are in our refund policy.

Yes, for up to three months, once per account. Billing stops and your presets, settings and project history stay exactly where they are, then your plan reactivates on its own at the end of the pause. If your season is over, pause rather than cancel. You keep any loyalty credits you have built up, which cancelling removes.
