I found Polarr Next just in time for my busy season! I started editing with Polarr Next for my weddings + couples photoshoots, and the software is incredible! The user interface is intuitive and felt natural, and the AI processing works so quickly, it makes my entire editing process feel so much lighter and easier. It has definitely helped speed up my post-processing workflow for this fall, and I can’t wait to incorporate it through this busy season.

Polarr Next takes AI photo editing to the next level. It’s blazing fast, delivers the most accurate edits, and offers a stand-alone solution that truly thinks outside the box. After trying nearly every AI editing platform available, I always come back to Polarr Next. It’s straightforward with a clean and responsive interface.

Incorporating Polarr Next into my workflow has been a game-changer. Next's ability to analyze your style and edit galleries is a WOW. The speed and ease with which these tools enhance my photos are truly impressive, and it didn’t take long to get used to it. The results look just like my galleries that I edited in Lightroom.

I love that I can run everything from a web browser, saving space on my hard drive and SSD. Plus, there’s no lag, crashing, or slowing down. That alone is a huge selling point for me. Polarr processes culls and edits so quickly, which is something I’ve struggled with in other editing software. The program learns from how I edit and smartly applies tweaks to the rest of the photos to match my preferences. It feels tailor-made for photographers, and it’s incredibly user-friendly and intuitive.

I love Polarr Next. It is the first program I run all of my shoots through now as a very good starting point for my editing! The more I use it and learn about it the less I have to do in another program! Being able to add Lightroom presets is amazing! I am also very excited about the culling feature being introduced as it will save me even more time! I highly recommend Polarr Next to any photographer
A Tale Ahead Photography
A huge portion of the time we spend editing weddings is taken up by ensuring that photos taken throughout the wedding day with different lighting conditions all end up forming a cohesive and consistent gallery, and Polarr Next magically takes care of that process with very little manual work.
Over Power Production

It's like having a personal editing assistant that not only saves me time but also empowers creativity into new projects. Gone are the days of being glued to my computer screen for hours on end. Now, I can focus on capturing moments and ideas, knowing that the Next app will handle the editing seamlessly.
