Peakto 2.6 Adds Global AI Culling and Deduplication

CYME has released Peakto 2.6, a major update to its AI-powered media manager that brings the most comprehensive culling and deduplication features yet to photographers and visual creators. The latest version introduces a transformative new approach: for the first time, AI-based clean-up is applied across the entire photo library, not just within individual folders or apps.

Unlike traditional culling tools that operate locally or within isolated software environments, Peakto 2.6 takes advantage of its unified indexing system to assess all images, no matter where they’re stored—on local drives, cloud storage, external hard drives, NAS systems, or across editing catalogues. The result is a smarter, more holistic way to identify near-duplicates, redundant files, and poor-quality shots, freeing up disk space and bringing focus to a creator’s best work.

Whether a photographer is managing thousands or millions of files, Peakto’s new AI tools can dramatically reduce clutter and increase efficiency. This makes it especially valuable for professionals seeking to streamline their archives or fine-tune their portfolios for presentation.

Version 2.6 also includes a host of performance enhancements, making it faster and more stable when working with large volumes of media. Libraries that were previously sluggish or unstable can now be navigated with increased fluidity, and users can ingest larger collections with confidence.

For collaborative teams, Peakto 2.6 further improves the web interface, adding clear sharing indicators, enhanced subfolder sharing, and smoother connectivity over Wi-Fi and Ethernet. These refinements are designed to help distributed teams and studios work together more transparently and intuitively.

Built on a vision of local-first, AI-assisted digital asset management, Peakto remains focused on empowering creators while encouraging digital sobriety—a practice of retaining only meaningful and high-quality imagery. As libraries grow, Peakto ensures users stay connected to what matters most: their best images.
