You have a great photo editor. But can you find the photos worth editing? FlickSort helps you organize first, so you can edit the photos that matter.
You've downloaded a great photo editor - Snapseed, Lightroom Mobile, VSCO, or any of dozens of excellent editing apps. You're ready to enhance your photos and create stunning images.
But there's a problem: you have 5,000 photos on your phone, and you can't remember which ones are worth editing.
The uncomfortable truth: Most photographers spend more time searching for photos to edit than actually editing them. A photo editor is useless if you can't find the photos worth editing.
Professional photographers understand this workflow:
Take photos with your camera or smartphone
THIS IS WHERE MOST PEOPLE GET STUCK
Sort through photos, identify keepers, remove duplicates, organize by category
Enhance the selected photos with your favorite editing app
Post to social media, send to friends, print, or archive
Photo editing apps handle step 3 brilliantly. But they can't help with step 2 - and that's where most people's photo workflow breaks down.
FlickSort is NOT a photo editor. It won't adjust brightness, apply filters, or crop images. That's what Snapseed, Lightroom, and other editing apps do best.
FlickSort IS a photo organizer. It helps you complete step 2 of the workflow - the crucial sorting and selection phase that determines which photos are worth spending time editing.
You need both. FlickSort complements your photo editor by ensuring you're editing the right photos.
Quickly sort through thousands of photos to identify your best shots. Create a "To Edit" album with only the photos that deserve your time and attention.
Process 1000+ photos in 30 minutes using intuitive swipe gestures. Much faster than scrolling and tapping through your gallery to find editing candidates.
When you take multiple photos of the same subject, FlickSort helps you compare them side-by-side to choose the best one to edit.
Delete blurry shots, accidental photos, and duplicates before editing. Keep your editing queue focused on photos with real potential.
Create albums for different editing projects: "Vacation Edit", "Portrait Session", "Instagram Posts". Feed your editor organized batches of related photos.
Instead of opening your editor and scrolling through thousands of photos, start with a pre-organized album of 20-30 carefully selected shots ready to edit.
This workflow ensures you spend time editing good photos, not searching for them.
Properly editing a photo takes 2-10 minutes per image. If you don't pre-select which photos to edit, you'll waste hours editing mediocre shots instead of focusing on your best work.
Making editing decisions while simultaneously deciding which photos are worth editing leads to poor choices. Separate the selection phase from the editing phase.
When you sit down to edit, you should be in a creative mindset, not a sorting mindset. Organize first, edit later.
Editing creates new copies of photos. Before you fill your storage with edited versions, make sure you're editing photos you'll actually use.

"I used to spend 3 hours looking for photos to edit and 1 hour actually editing. Now I spend 30 minutes organizing with FlickSort and 3.5 hours editing. Same amount of time, much better results."
"FlickSort isn't a replacement for Lightroom - it's the app that gets photos ready for Lightroom. I wish I had this years ago."
"The fastest photo editor is the one you never have to open because you're only editing photos worth editing."
Technically yes, but it's much slower. Photo editors are optimized for editing, not sorting. Their interfaces require multiple taps and menu navigations for each organization decision. FlickSort's swipe interface is 10x faster for bulk sorting.
FlickSort organizes photos in your Android gallery, which all photo editors can access. After organizing with FlickSort, open any photo editor and select from your organized albums. They work perfectly together.
Apps that try to do everything end up doing nothing well. Photo editing requires powerful, specialized tools. Photo organization requires speed and simplicity. Two focused apps work better than one bloated app.
Indirectly, yes. By quickly sorting through all your photos, you'll start recognizing patterns in which shots work and which don't. This awareness improves your photography over time. Plus, organized photos mean you actually edit and share your work instead of leaving it buried in your camera roll.
Most photographers report saving 1-2 hours per editing session by having photos pre-organized. Over a year, that's 50-100 hours saved - time you can spend actually editing, shooting, or doing anything else you enjoy.
If you're serious about photo editing, you need to be serious about photo organization. The best edits in the world don't matter if you're editing the wrong photos or can't find the right ones to edit.
FlickSort doesn't replace your photo editor - it makes your photo editor worth using by ensuring you're always editing your best work.
Use FlickSort for: Sorting, selecting, organizing, and preparing photos for editing
Use your photo editor for: Actual editing, enhancement, and creative work
Together, they create a photo workflow that's fast, efficient, and focused on creating great images instead of searching for them.
