It will never take a risk with your photos

Thousands of files pass through its hands over a weekend. No original is touched, no photo is lost.

  • Your RAW files stay home

    Only the final JPEG goes over the network. Your originals never leave your machine.

  • A dropped connection costs you nothing

    Photos wait in the queue and resume on their own. Zero duplicates, even after a crash.

  • Cautious by design

    At the slightest doubt — horizon, crop, exposure — the photo is left untouched.

  • What you see is what goes on sale

    The preview uses exactly the same engine as the upload. No surprises.

The app

A cockpit, not photo editing software

One single window. You pick the folder and the event, a preview shows you the look, then you hit start. That's it.

  • Live preview, running the real upload engine
  • Before / after by holding down the click
  • “Test without publishing” to check everything
  • Real-time counters and log

Questions

Your questions about Autopilot

An app for your computer that watches a folder: every photo that lands in it is processed, edited, cropped, straightened, then uploaded and put on sale automatically — indexed by bib number and by face. You never have to edit a single photo again.

Yes, right now on Mac (macOS 12 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel chips). Download it from this page: it's included in the Pro plan and updates itself. The Windows version will come later.

Mac (macOS) at launch. A Windows version will follow. Tell us your system when you leave your email: we notify people platform by platform.

Yes. Autopilot is reserved for the Photag Pro plan, alongside the reduced commission and extended storage. It's the tool for photographers who shoot a lot, often.

No, never. The RAW is processed locally on your computer; only the final JPEG is uploaded. Your originals stay on your machine.

Yes. Every photo gets its own light adjustment, much like Lightroom's “Auto” button, plus a smart crop, horizon straightening and blur sorting. You stay in control of the look, and you can import your own signature style as a LUT.

It comes close: the engine is calibrated against reference points measured in Lightroom. It's not an Adobe clone, but a balanced look adapted to each photo — and you can push it toward your own style with a LUT.

Nothing serious: photos wait and resume on their own when the connection comes back, without creating duplicates. Autopilot even picks up again after the app restarts.

A computer (Mac at launch), an internet connection, and your photos in a folder — copied from the memory card, or dropped in over AirDrop. Autopilot accepts RAW files from most brands as well as JPEG.

Yes, if your camera can send photos as you shoot (Wi-Fi FTP) and you have a connection on site: they go on sale as you shoot. But it's not required — most photographers empty their card after the race and let Autopilot work on its own.

Never. Photos that are too blurry are simply left out of the upload and can be brought back in one click. Autopilot deletes nothing.
