About this app

RapidRAW is a modern, high-performance alternative to Adobe Lightroom®. Built entirely with Rust and Tauri, it delivers a beautifully designed, professional-grade photo editing experience in an unbelievably lightweight package (under 20MB) that runs locally on your machine.

Core Features:



     
  • GPU-Accelerated Engine: Features a custom 32-bit image processing pipeline written in WGSL, ensuring that sliders and color adjustments reflect on your massive RAW files instantly.

  •  
  • Local AI Masking: Instantly detect and mask subjects, skies, and foregrounds completely offline. You can also combine these smart masks with traditional layer-based masking for total creative control.

  •  
  • Smart Library Tagging: Forget organizing folders. RapidRAW automatically scans and tags your image library using a local CLIP AI model, making thousands of photos instantly searchable.

  •  
  • Non-Destructive Workflow: All of your edits, crops, and color grades are stored safely in a tiny .rrdata sidecar file, ensuring your original camera RAW files are never touched or compressed.


Note: For optimal performance, RapidRAW requires a reasonably modern graphics card (GPU) with updated vendor drivers (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel).


System Requirements

Windows 10/11, macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), Linux, or Android. (Requires a modern, Metal/Vulkan compatible GPU)
