Frequently asked questions

What does PhotoPick do?

Canon (.cr2, .cr3), Nikon (.nef), Sony (.arw), Fuji (.raf), Pentax (.pef), Panasonic (.rw2), Sigma (.x3f), Olympus (.orf), and Adobe DNG — paired against .jpg / .jpeg.
Is PhotoPick free?
Yes. PhotoPick is free and open source under the MIT license. Source code is available on GitHub.
Does PhotoPick run on Apple Silicon?
Yes. PhotoPick runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. macOS 12 Monterey or later is required.
macOS says PhotoPick "is damaged" or "is malware". How do I open it?

PhotoPick is ad-hoc signed and not notarised by Apple, so Gatekeeper blocks the first launch. The app isn't actually malicious — pick either fix below, you only need to do it once.

Option A — Terminal (one command)

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/PhotoPick.app

Then double-click PhotoPick normally.

Option B — GUI (no Terminal)

  1. Double-click PhotoPick so the warning appears, then click Cancel (not “Move to Trash”).
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll to the Security section. You'll see “PhotoPick was blocked to protect your Mac.”
  4. Click Open Anyway and authenticate with Touch ID or your password.
  5. Launch PhotoPick again and confirm Open in the follow-up dialog.

On macOS Sequoia the older “right-click → Open” trick no longer works — the dialog only offers “Move to Trash”, so use Option A or Option B.

* Actual risks are at your own discretion.
