What does this tool do?
iPhotron is a sophisticated photo management tool for Windows that emulates the macOS Photos experience. Unlike traditional photo managers, it uses lightweight JSON manifests to organize media while preserving original file structures. The application offers advanced features like GPS-based location mapping, Live Photo support for HEIC/MOV files, and a non-destructive approach to photo organization that keeps all original files untouched.
