Practical guides
Find and organise the images on your PC.
Start with what you remember: a scene, some words, or a photo that needs a useful filename. These guides walk through ImageSage’s local search and rename tools.
Search photos by description
Find a photo by its subject or scene, even when you cannot remember the filename.
Search text inside screenshots
Use local OCR to find screenshots, receipts and other images by the words they contain.
Rename photos with local AI
Turn selected photos into editable filename suggestions, then review before applying.
Before you start
Install ImageSage from Microsoft Store, then choose the folders you want to search. Your images stay in those folders while ImageSage prepares a local index. Allow text recognition and visual-search preparation to finish before assessing the results.
You need Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045) or Windows 11 on an x64 PC. Supported image formats are PNG, JPEG and WebP. Indexing, OCR, visual search and Magic Rename run on your device; installing and updating through Microsoft Store requires a connection.
Choose the right search
- Remember what the picture shows? Start with the photo-description guide.
- Remember words visible in the picture? Start with the screenshot-text guide.
- Already found the photos? Use the rename guide to review new filenames before changing them.
