Framepick frequently asked questions
A practical guide to the available Windows application, local People and Places search, document folders and paid plans. The Android internal beta is a separate free app for invited Google Play testers.
What is Framepick?
Framepick by Agentora is a local photo and document organizer available as a Windows desktop beta. Organizer suggests category folders for a mixed library and keeps every distinct image. Event highlights suggests a smaller photo selection. Optional People and Places search helps you browse the analyzed library by anonymous face groups or visually similar backgrounds, including photos not selected for copying. Review the result, correct categories or picks, and copy included originals into a new folder. A separate free Android internal beta is available to invited Google Play testers and does not have the same features or customer plans.
Can I import Google Photos into Framepick?
Windows beta8 includes Google Photos sign-in setup for invited Google test accounts. Check the download permission box, connect, sign in with an invited account and choose up to 2,000 photos per import. Other accounts can use downloaded local folders while Google verification is pending. On Android beta3, use Google Photos / photo picker on Android 13 or later; Google Photos can appear when enabled as the phone’s cloud media provider. Availability depends on the phone, account, provider and connection. Files remains available for local selections and older versions. Processing stays on the device. API imports cannot use Framepick’s combined People/Places index because Google’s Photos API policy prohibits face clustering. Importing does not delete cloud originals or create cloud-hosted processing.
Why is Connect Google Photos disabled or showing setup required?
Choose Check connection, check the permission box and finish any analysis, People/Places indexing or copying before connecting. Setup required means Google sign-in configuration is missing or invalid; it does not mean an import is running. Install the latest Windows release and contact support if it persists. A failed connection check can be retried without refreshing the workspace. During Google testing, only invited Google accounts can sign in even when the app’s connection setup is ready.
How do I find a person and see their photo count?
Finish analyzing a library, open People and choose Start local indexing. Person cards show anonymous library-local IDs such as P000001 and the count of distinct photos in that group. Open a card to see its photos, including those not selected for copying. A person appearing twice in one photo counts as one photo. Groups are suggestions, not named identities; small, obscured or uncertain faces may remain ungrouped. Review matches and use Clear matches to return to the library.
How do I correct two People groups that show the same person?
Review the faces first, then select the checkboxes on the same person's People cards and choose Combine selected people. The combined group keeps the lowest existing person ID and counts each distinct photo once, even when that photo appeared in several groups. Framepick saves the correction locally for that library and keeps the groups' reference examples for future matching. Your photo selection and originals stay unchanged. Automatic grouping can still split one person or suggest an incorrect match, so review the cards before combining them.
Can I find photos using a reference face?
Yes. Once local indexing has finished, or after stopping an index with some photos completed, open People and choose a reference image on your computer. Choose the face to search for, even when only one face is detected; if several faces are present, select the intended one. Then choose Find this person's photos. Results include indexed photos not selected for copying and show likely or possible matches for your review. A reference does not reveal anyone's name or guarantee every appearance will be found. Your current picks stay unchanged.
Does Places find locations using GPS?
No. Places compares visible backgrounds only; it does not use GPS or identify geographic locations or venues by name. Open Places after analysis and choose Start local indexing. Browse anonymous background groups and their distinct-photo counts, or choose a reference image to find visually similar backgrounds. Similar scenes can be different real places, and the same place can look different from another angle. Review suggested matches before relying on them.
Can I retain my folders and select photos separately in each one?
Yes. In Event highlights, check Retain my folder structure before starting. Framepick scans the chosen folder and its nested folders, then makes an independent selection from the photos directly in each photo-containing folder. The target becomes Photos per folder, so the combined total can be larger than that number. A folder may have fewer distinct photos or need extra picks for episode coverage. Copied selections keep their original relative subfolder paths. The option is unchecked by default; leave it unchecked for one selection across the library.
Can Framepick organize identity, property and education photos?
Yes. Choose Organize photos into folders in the main dropdown. Framepick uses locally recognized page text and file or folder clues to suggest Identity documents, Property, Education and qualifications, Financial, Medical, Travel, Events and people, Other photos, and Needs review. Category counts include all photos, including exact copies excluded from copying. Morning thoughts, Devotional greetings, Training and seminars and Informative notices have dedicated suggestions. Marksheets, degrees and property documents can be grouped when their text or names contain recognized clues. Check every suggestion before copying; the beta does not identify every document or photo subject.
Will it keep both the front and back of an identity document?
Organizer keeps distinct fronts, backs and pages as separate images, even when they have similar layouts. Explicitly named sides or pages with the same document prefix, such as scan-abc_front and scan-abc_back, can share a suggested category when one side has a clear clue. Unnamed backs may need manual classification. A back page is not discarded just because its text does not identify the document; check Needs review and Other photos and move it to the right folder.
Does Organizer remove duplicates or delete my originals?
Organizer automatically excludes byte-identical files and full-pixel copies from copying. Open Duplicates to compare an extra copy with its protected reference. Resized or compressed matches appear as Possible duplicates and stay included until reviewed. Explicitly choosing Move copy to Recycle Bin removes only that extra source copy; possible matches require a comparison acknowledgement. Nothing is deleted automatically. Cleanup requires a completed Organize scan, valid access and a local fixed Windows drive. Changed or missing sources stop cleanup. Restore files through Windows Recycle Bin, then rescan. A fresh scan finds resized copies in older libraries; old Event highlights groups are not exact-copy proof.
Can I correct folders and add my own categories?
Yes. Browse All photos or a category and use the folder dropdown on any photo to correct it. Counts include photos excluded from copying. Advanced settings saves reusable category names, descriptions, matching words and whether a rule is active; new Organize scans keep a snapshot of those rules. Editing a rule does not change saved scans. Manage folders lets you rename output folders or add manual folders for that saved job. Removing a custom folder moves its photos to Needs review, without removing source files.
Does it automatically recognize every scene, language or document?
No. Organizer uses document words and file or folder names to suggest document categories. Text recognition works best with clear English or Latin text. Blurred pages, unusual layouts and unsupported languages may need manual correction. Uncertain text pages go to Needs review; images without useful clues go to Other photos. Optional People and Places indexing provides separate face and visual-background matching, but it does not recognize every person, scene or document type. Review categories and matches yourself.
Can I select 500 photos from an event with 5,000 photos?
You can set a target selection count, such as 500, for your event folder. The result depends on the available photos and your settings. Processing time varies with your computer and image sizes; large-event performance is still being evaluated in this beta.
Are my photos uploaded to the cloud?
Framepick analyzes and reviews photos locally on your computer. Photos and recognized document text are not uploaded to an online service. Organizer uses page text in memory and does not save that extracted text in job reports; local previews, category assignments and selection metadata are saved so you can resume work. If you choose People or Places indexing, face crops, comparison features called embeddings, and anonymous group information are also saved in a private local index. Reference images and their search data are stored locally too. Recognition models are bundled. The website handles downloads and paid checkout; payment details and a device identifier are used for purchase and activation.
How does Framepick help cover every event or ceremony?
Framepick uses detected event segments and editable categories to spread the selection across an event. You can review category counts and correct the grouping for ceremonies, dancing, meals, family groups, or other moments. Automatic grouping can miss a moment, so check the categories and final selection before exporting.
Can I add, rename, delete, or correct categories?
Yes. Event highlights lets you add, edit and delete categories by their first and last photo, then rebuild the selection with coverage for those ranges. Review all-photo and selected-photo counts and adjust individual picks. Organizer has separate per-photo folder assignments and custom folder controls for a mixed document and photo library.
How does Event highlights reduce repeat shots?
Event highlights uses local visual matching to identify similar frames and favor more distinct choices while covering detected segments. Similar photos can still remain, and two similar-looking frames may capture different important moments. You control the final selection. Organizer uses a more conservative rule: it excludes only identical files or full pixel copies automatically so distinct document pages stay available.
Does it recognize every guest or identify a specific person?
People search can group similar faces under anonymous IDs and find possible appearances using a reference face. It does not identify people by name or guarantee that every guest is detected or included in the selected output. People search includes all indexed photos, while copying still follows your current picks. Review group, audience and uncertain matches yourself to make sure important people are included.
Which photo formats are supported?
Both modes support JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP and BMP images, including photographs or supported image scans of documents. RAW, HEIC and PDF files are not supported yet. Export supported image copies if needed and keep your original files separately. A document stored only as a PDF must first be converted to supported page images outside Framepick.
Does Framepick delete or change my original photos?
Ordinary scanning and export leave source photos unchanged. Export creates a new folder containing included originals. In completed Organize scans, Duplicates provides a separate cleanup choice: compare an extra copy with the kept reference, then explicitly move the extra copy to Windows Recycle Bin. Possible duplicates require a comparison acknowledgement, and nothing is removed automatically. Keep your usual backups and review both photos before cleanup.
Which computers can run the beta? Do I need Python?
Framepick is a Windows x64 desktop app. Python and required libraries are bundled in the installer. There is no separate Python setup. A macOS or Linux installer is not currently offered.
How do I update to 0.7.0-beta8 if the interface still looks old?
Finish any analysis, People or Places indexing, or copying, then close the Framepick Beta window. Download and run the latest Windows Setup, reopen Framepick, and check for by Agentora and v0.7.0-beta8 in the header. Your saved selections, confirmed People combinations and paid activation are kept. If an old browser tab still shows the previous interface, press Ctrl+Shift+R in that Framepick tab. People and Places appear after a library has been analyzed; open either tab and choose Start local indexing when you want to use search.
How do I download Framepick and start my first Windows library?
Open photoselection.agentora.in on your Windows 11 x64 computer. Choose Download Windows trial, compare the installer with the SHA-256 checksum on that page, and read the unsigned-beta installation notes. Run Setup and open Framepick Beta from the Start menu or desktop. Choose Organizer or Event highlights, select your local source folder, and start analysis. Review the category suggestions or picks, then copy included originals into a new output folder. People and Places are optional: open a tab after analysis and choose Start local indexing. The trial begins with your first analysis, not the download.
What changed in beta 4, and will my saved People corrections remain?
Beta 4 improves CPU indexing and reuses unchanged People, Places and reference previews while you browse. It rejects unusable face alignment data, reports recognition engine failures instead of silently treating missing faces as success, and keeps reference searches within compatible model data. Saved selections, compatible completed indexes and confirmed People combinations remain available after upgrading. The new face-data checks apply when photos are first indexed or reprocessed; existing cached comparison data is not rewritten.
Why can People and Places indexing take time with 1,600 photos?
The first index reads every supported photo from the analysis, including unselected images, and runs additional face and background models locally. Time depends on your CPU, storage, image dimensions and faces per photo; there is no guaranteed completion time for a particular photo count. The Windows app processes the independent face and background stages in parallel, keeps bounded image previews and saves completed progress. Stop and resume if needed, keep the original folder unchanged, and reopen a completed compatible index to reuse its saved work. Ordinary photo selection does not automatically start People or Places indexing.
Is the Framepick Android app available to download?
Framepick is available through Google Play internal testing for invited accounts only. The testing link is on the Android information page; sign in with an account invited to the beta, or contact support@agentora.in to request testing access. This is not an open beta or public production release. Do not use the Windows installer on a phone. Windows trial limits, prices and paid activation do not apply to the free Android beta. Google may temporarily show in.agentora.framepick (unreviewed) during setup.
Does the Android beta include all Windows features?
No. The separate Android internal beta supports Android’s Google Photos/photo picker where available and the Files/document picker, local category suggestions, optional Hindi/Gujarati poster reading, custom categories, category browsing, paginated review, an in-app photo viewer, verified copying to a chosen folder and saved pause/resume checkpoints. Exact duplicates and possible resized copies have separate review views. Explicit system Trash requests require Android 11 or later and a supported local provider, with comparison first; nothing is removed automatically. It has no Internet permission. People/Places, the full desktop event-coverage workflow and customer billing are not included. Android beta testing is free; Windows prices and activation do not apply. Cloud retrieval depends on phone, provider, account and connectivity. Provider-based import and system Trash still need exact-version phone acceptance. Android has no face-grouping feature.
Why does Windows show an unknown publisher warning?
This beta installer is not publisher-signed yet, so Windows may display an unknown publisher or SmartScreen warning. Publisher signing is planned after photographer feedback. Download only from the official Framepick website and install only if you are comfortable testing an unsigned beta; an installer SHA-256 checksum is provided on the download page.
Is Framepick free?
Framepick has a free trial: up to 3 photo libraries during 7 days from your first analysis, shared across Organizer and Event highlights. Monthly access costs ₹500 and yearly access costs ₹5,000 for one Windows computer, with unlimited libraries in both modes during the paid term. Plans are prepaid and do not renew automatically.
How are the trial limits counted?
Your 7 days start when you first analyze a supported photo library. You can analyze up to 3 distinct libraries across either mode; in the app these trial slots are called events. Re-analysis of an unchanged library and category corrections do not consume another slot. Adding or changing source photos counts as a new library. Empty folders and failed analyses do not use a slot. After the third library, you can finish those libraries within the remaining trial time. After 7 days, analysis, changes and export require paid activation; saved work remains readable. Ordinary reinstalling does not restart the trial for the same Windows user.
How do I buy and activate a paid plan?
Open Plans inside the Windows app to link your computer. Choose monthly access for ₹500 or yearly access for ₹5,000 and complete secure checkout. After payment is confirmed, copy the activation code into the app. Paid access starts on the payment date and covers unlimited libraries in both modes on one computer for one calendar month or one year. There is no automatic renewal; renew after expiry, as early purchases do not extend the current term. Use Check payment to recover activation if the payment window closes.
How can I send feedback or report a problem?
Email support@agentora.in with your Framepick version, Windows version, photo count, chosen mode and the steps that caused the problem. Tell us about document folder suggestions, front and back pages, missed events, repeated photos, processing time or copying issues. Do not send customer photos or identity documents; a description or a screenshot without private content is enough to start.
