The size restriction applies to cloud upload settings, not to the size of photos you can view. Cloud uploads are prepared as JPEG images. The original-size option keeps image dimensions. Uploads use JPEG format, and some metadata may not be retained.
Check your formats. Download for Windows.

Who is PhotoLikr for?
PhotoLikr is for photographers and photo enthusiasts who want to review a folder and choose their best shots before editing, printing or sharing.
Can I view photos full screen?
Yes. Press F11 to toggle full screen. Press F12 to show or hide the toolbars. Hold the right mouse button on a photo to zoom into a detail.
Can I select photos without uploading them?
Yes. The local workflow lets you review, rate, filter and copy photos to another folder on your PC. Cloud upload is optional.
What changes when I buy PhotoLikr Pro?
Free includes viewing, zoom, ratings, filtering and local selection. Its cloud upload resize setting is 800 × 600. Pro unlocks larger custom upload dimensions and the original-size option. Both use the same application; enter your licence key to unlock Pro.
Can I use ratings with Lightroom?
PhotoLikr supports XMP star ratings. Check rating exchange on copies of a few files first. Confirm compatibility before relying on direct updates to your current Lightroom catalog.
Choose the photos you want to keep.
Open your next folder in PhotoLikr and build your selection.
