Find any photo in your phone library — by describing it.
PicGent uses semantic search and OCR (text recognition) to help you locate pictures by what they contain. Just describe what you remember or search for words that appear in a photo, screenshot, or document — and get results in seconds.
Currently available on iOS — Android version coming soon.
Features
Two ways to find what you’re looking for
Search by what you remember, or by the text inside the photo.
Describe what you remember
Natural-language search across scenes, objects, and context. Try: “a latte with leaf-shaped foam art on a wooden cafe table,” “a crowded night market with colourful lanterns and food stalls.”
Find text inside your photos
OCR finds words inside your photos — screenshots, signs, menus, documents, notes, and receipts. Try: “ppt of 50 AI companies of 2025,” “receipt from Starbucks.”
How it works
Three steps. You control which photos the app sees.
1) Grant photo access
Pick Limited Photos and choose exactly which images the app can use, or grant full-library access — your call.
2) Sync
The app securely sends your selected photos to our servers to compute embeddings, then discards the photos on the servers. Embeddings come back to your device.
3) Search, select, share
Describe what you want → search runs on your device → pick the results → save to a new album or share.
Privacy
We process only what’s needed for search, and nothing more.
You stay in control
Grant Limited Photos access and pick exactly which images the app can use — at any time.
Photos aren’t kept
Selected photos are sent over TLS to compute embeddings, then permanently deleted from our servers. No photo or image data is retained.
Never for ads or training
Your photos are not used to identify you, profile you, train models, or sell to third parties.
FAQ
Quick answers before you download.
Do you store my photos?
No. Selected photos are sent over TLS to compute embeddings, then permanently deleted from our servers. No photo or image data is retained.
Can I choose which photos the app sees?
Yes. Grant Limited Photos access in iOS and pick exactly which images PicGent can use — or grant full-library access if you prefer.
What kinds of searches work best?
Natural-language descriptions of scenes, objects, or context (e.g. “A starfish on the beach”), and text inside photos via OCR (e.g. “ppt of top 50 AI companies of 2025”). Vague inputs still work.
What languages does it support?
English and Chinese.
