Free Photography Apps and Tools — PhotoWorkout

PhotoWorkout publishes free, no-signup-required browser tools and data apps for photographers — alongside our editorial coverage. Use what’s useful, skip what isn’t. Everything below is built and maintained in-house, and runs entirely in your browser (no accounts, no tracking-cookie walls, no "upgrade to Pro" modals).

Current Apps

Artemis II Photo Archive Browser — browse all 12,217 public-domain photos NASA released from the Artemis II mission. Pulls live from the NASA Image Library API. Filter by camera, search by keyword, click through to full-resolution downloads. Free, embeddable, no account.

Smart Photo Search — AI-powered search across PhotoWorkout’s editorial photo library + SampleShots’ camera-tagged real-world image archive. Find example shots from specific cameras and lenses without scrolling through paginated galleries.

Camera & Lens Compatibility Matrix — instant lookup of which lenses work with which mirrorless camera bodies across all major mounts. Includes native compatibility plus adapter paths. Built from PhotoWorkout’s internal camera and lens database (CamDB).

PhotoWorkout Shopping Assistant — natural-language interface to PhotoWorkout’s full product database. Ask in plain English ("mirrorless under $1,500 with weather sealing and 4K60") and get a ranked list pulled live from our continuously-updated catalog.

What’s Coming

More apps are in development. The next two on the roadmap: a wireless-mic comparison tool (built off the recent Insta360 Mic Pro vs DJI Mic 3 spec audit) and an exposure-triangle simulator for beginners. Both target Q3 2026.

About These Apps

Every PhotoWorkout app is built as a free public utility. We don’t gate them behind email signups, we don’t sell the data you generate while using them, and we don’t retire them when they stop generating revenue. The code for several of them is open-source on PhotoWorkout’s GitHub organization. If you want to embed one of these tools on your own site, the Artemis II Photo Archive specifically supports iframe embedding — see its dedicated page for the embed code.
