AI Smart Albums: Automatic Photo Categorization
Memora's AI analyzes every photo you import and automatically sorts them into 56 smart albums — including Portraits, Landscapes, Architecture, Wildlife, Food, Sports, and Travel. No manual tagging, no tedious keyword entry. Just import your photos and browse by category instantly.
What Are AI Smart Albums?
AI smart albums are automatically generated photo collections based on visual content. Instead of manually tagging every file, you import a photo folder or catalog and Memora groups matching images into 56 browsable categories such as portraits, landscapes, architecture, wildlife, food, sports, and travel.
All categorization is performed locally on your Windows computer. Smart Albums complement AI photo search: browse familiar categories when you want an overview, or describe a specific image when you know what you are looking for.
56 AI-Powered Categories
Memora's vision AI recognizes photo content and assigns each image to the right album automatically. These are seven of the most popular.
Portraits
People, headshots, group photos, and candid shots of individuals are automatically grouped together.
Landscapes
Scenic views, nature panoramas, seascapes, and outdoor vistas — all recognized without manual input.
Architecture
Buildings, interiors, cityscapes, bridges, and structural photography detected and categorized.
Wildlife
Animals, birds, insects, and nature close-ups are identified and collected in one place.
Food
Restaurant shots, home cooking, ingredients, and food photography — recognized automatically.
Sports
Action shots, athletic events, fitness activities, and sports photography grouped together.
Travel
Landmarks, street scenes, cultural events, and travel moments automatically identified.
