Description
For photographers who need a fast field workflow, CardRunner helps you get the right images off your camera or memory card quickly so you can stay focused on the action.
CardRunner automatically detects connected cameras and memory cards, then makes it easy to import everything for free or use Pro to pull only your protected (locked) or star-rated keepers. Save to your camera roll, share with an editor, client, or friend, or send straight to your editor with Photostream.
-- KEY FEATURES --
• Automatic Camera Detection — Connect a camera or memory card and CardRunner is ready to import
• Free Unlimited Import — Import as many images as you want, free forever
• Smart Filtering — Import only protected (locked) or star-rated images (Pro)
• RAW Support — Import and export ARW, CR2, CR3, NEF, ORF, PEF, RW2, and more (Pro)
• Full Size or Optimized — Save originals or compress for faster transfers on slow connections
• Photostream — Stream photos to your editor's gallery in real time with a simple join code
• Pro via Photostream — Photostream-connected users unlock Pro features automatically
• Geotagging — Tag imports with your current location so every shot knows where it was delivered (Pro)
• Favorites — Mark your best shots and see them on your home screen widget
• EXIF Viewer — Camera, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and more at a glance
• iPad Support — Works natively on iPhone and iPad
-- BUILT FOR THE FIELD --
Shooting on location with limited connectivity? CardRunner can save full-size originals or optimized copies for faster sharing over cellular or satellite, while keeping your originals intact. With Photostream, your editor sees photos as soon as you import them, with no extra sending step required.
-- FREE + PRO --
Import unlimited images for free. Upgrade to CardRunner Pro for rated-only and protected-only imports, RAW support, geotagging, and additional optimization controls. If you work with Photostream, Pro features unlock automatically while connected.
CardRunner is built by an independent developer and college football photographer (Go Tigers!)
