Everything a wedding workflow needs
Stop paying for separate cloud tools. GotoArc brings culling, retouching, album design and delivery into one local application.
Automatic retouching, tuned by you
Skin, eyes, teeth, shine, blemishes and background blur are prepared automatically. Fine-tune any photo in a full-screen viewer with live sliders.
A RAW-first engine
Import CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG and other RAW formats. Embedded previews keep the grid fast; full RAW demosaic powers final delivery.
Smart albums and print-ready PDFs
Moments-aware layouts, cover, spread view and drag-and-drop pages. Export a 300 DPI PDF with bleed and crop-ready dimensions.
JPEG, XMP and 16-bit TIFF
Deliver watermarked JPEGs, Lightroom-compatible XMP sidecars and 16-bit TIFF masters for advanced Photoshop work.
GPU acceleration, automatic
ONNX Runtime DirectML selects the fastest available GPU from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel. If no GPU is available, CPU processing keeps the workflow moving.
Private by design
Your photos never leave your computer. No cloud upload, no client galleries and no third-party processing account required.
Open in Photoshop or Lightroom
Send a 16-bit TIFF straight to Photoshop or export XMP next to the RAW for Lightroom. GotoArc fits into the tools you already use.
Four steps
From memory card to album in four steps
One project holds the full story. Every step is designed for large event shoots, not just a few photos.
Import
Select the folder, extract previews and see exactly how many photos were imported.
Cull
AI scores faces, sharpness and duplicates. Keep or reject with one key.
Retouch
Automatic edits start as you select each photo. Adjust the look and retouch strengths.
Deliver
Export JPEGs, TIFFs, XMP, Instagram Stories and a 300 DPI album PDF.
Product tour
A calm interface for a heavy workload
Large previews, visible counts and local AI controls. Designed for 5,000-photo weddings and late-night delivery deadlines.
Import with clear counts
Know how many photos were added, how many thumbnails are ready and how many errors need attention.
Cull with confidence
Faces, closed eyes, sharpness and duplicate groups are visible before you make the call.
Retouch at full size
The large viewer includes live retouch controls, so you can judge skin and eyes without leaving the photo.
Design the album
Drag photos onto pages, switch spreads and export a print-ready PDF when the story feels right.
Why local
Your photos are not training data
Cloud tools are convenient, but they require uploading an entire wedding. GotoArc keeps every image on your drives.

FAQ
Questions photographers ask
Short answers about offline processing, RAW support, GPU acceleration and licensing.
Is GotoArc really 100% offline?
Yes. Culling, retouching, album rendering and delivery run on your computer. Photos are never uploaded for processing. The website only handles licensing and download traffic.
Does it replace Lightroom or Photoshop?
GotoArc replaces the bulk culling, automatic retouching, album layout and delivery steps. It exports Lightroom-compatible XMP and 16-bit TIFF for advanced edits in Photoshop.
Which RAW formats are supported?
The RAW engine supports CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RAF, RW2 and many other camera formats through rawpy and LibRaw.
Can it use my GPU?
On Windows, ONNX Runtime DirectML can use NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs. The fastest available device is selected automatically for neural upscaling. Face and segmentation models run locally on the CPU.
How does the trial work?
The trial lasts 7 days and includes 100 photos, so you can test import, AI culling, retouching, album preview and export quality before choosing a plan.
Can I keep working without internet?
Yes. After activation, the core workflow runs offline. Licensing can use a short offline grace period.
What sizes can the album be?
The built-in layouts support square 30×30 cm, landscape 30×20 cm and portrait 20×30 cm. The PDF is rendered at 300 DPI with bleed.
