Photo and media handling

Photos and videos carry rich metadata and visual structure that can be used to organise, compare, and navigate large media folders. Blitz Indexer includes practical tools for working with photo and media files alongside the rest of your data.

Browse and filter media using real metadata

Blitz Indexer makes it easy to filter and group photos and videos by properties that matter in practice, such as:

  • Capture date and time
  • Camera make and model
  • Lens and focal length
  • Resolution and orientation
  • File format and codec

This supports everyday tasks like finding media from a particular trip, camera, or time period, and comparing output across devices.

Map and timeline views for geotagged media

For photos and videos that include GPS location data, Blitz Indexer provides map-based browsing tools.

You can:

  • View media plotted by location
  • Filter by date range
  • Move between geographic and chronological views
  • Optionally tag or name locations for later searching

Find visually similar images

Blitz Indexer can identify visually similar images using deterministic image analysis. This helps you find:

  • The original photo given a resized copy, thumbnail, or exported version
  • Near-duplicates created during editing or re-saving
  • Variants with modest colour or exposure adjustments

Find images with similar dominant colours

In addition to visual similarity, Blitz Indexer can search for images that share similar dominant colours.

This is useful when you remember the look or palette of an image but not the subject or filename — for example, images dominated by a particular colour range such as deep blues, bright greens, or warm sunset tones.

Discover related media

Blitz Indexer highlights useful relationships within your media so you can move naturally through a collection.

  • Show items taken on the same date
  • Find media captured at the same location
  • Group items by camera or lens
  • Jump via shared metadata values

Lightweight tagging and annotation

Blitz Indexer supports simple tags and notes that help with selection and organisation.

  • Mark favourites
  • Create temporary or persistent selections
  • Hide uninteresting or private items
  • Add comments or descriptions

Works with ordinary folders

Blitz Indexer works directly with photos and videos stored in normal folders on disk. You don’t need to import media into a managed library or reorganise your files to make them navigable.
