Read-only originals
PhotoHelm stores organization and analysis in its own database and leaves your original photos and videos at their existing filesystem paths.

Group
Group similar faces so you can review and organize them efficiently.
Correct
Correct uncertain matches, merge identities, and maintain trusted reference faces.
Search
Use known people as part of your broader PhotoHelm search and filtering workflow.
