When Sony discontinued Picture Motion Browser in 2014, millions of people lost the best photo organizer ever made. Pixpero brings it back — and makes it better.
See how Pixpero compares →Pixpero reads the date each photo was taken and quietly organises them so you can relive any specific day in seconds.
Drill from a year of memories into a month, into a single day. Each cell shows a thumbnail of the photo taken there.
Large center photo. Scrollable thumbnail strip. Arrow-key navigation. Save the original to any folder with one click.
Photos with GPS appear as thumbnail pins on a world map. Filter to a year, a month, or a single day.
Fullscreen auto-advance with adjustable speed. Videos play in full, then the show moves on automatically.
Find any photo by year (2024), month (2024-04),
specific date, camera model, or filename.
A warm cream by day. A deep navy by night. Toggle in Settings, remembered forever.
JPEG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone), TIFF, RAW (Canon, Nikon, Sony, DNG), MP4, MOV, MKV — and more.
Videos appear in the calendar with auto-extracted thumbnails. Click any one to play in-app with full controls.
Your photos never leave your computer. No cloud, no upload, no account. Pixpero only reads them on disk.

Pixpero is currently going through code-signing reputation buildup with Microsoft. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" — the installer is safe and verified by Stripe for purchasers. The warning will disappear in the coming weeks as more people install.
On the roadmap. The codebase is Electron, so a Mac build is straightforward — we'll ship it once Windows v1 is stable.
Yes — Pixpero was directly inspired by PMB and designed specifically for former PMB users. It shares the same core idea: browse your entire photo library by year, month, and day using a calendar view. It also includes map view and slideshow mode, two other PMB favourites. Everything runs locally on your computer, no cloud required — just like PMB did.
Absolutely. PlayMemories Home was the successor to PMB and kept the same calendar-based approach. Pixpero follows the same philosophy — date-first browsing, map view, and slideshow — while modernising the interface and adding support for all your photos and videos, not just Sony camera files.
