What is ACDSee?

ACDSee Photo Studio is a desktop application for photo and video editing, organisation, and management. It combines a media library tool with editing capabilities, allowing you to import, browse, and process large collections of images in one place. The software is designed for photographers, content creators, and anyone who needs to manage and edit photos regularly. It offers both a free version with basic functionality and paid tiers that enable advanced editing tools, batch processing, and additional file format support.
