Vecstore doesn't store your photos. Only vectors.

To make a photo searchable, Vecstore turns it into a vector: a list of numbers that describes what's in it. Only that vector is kept. It can't be turned back into the photo.

Step 1

Photo is read

Recall sends the photo to Vecstore to be indexed.

Step 2

Converted to a vector

The photo becomes a list of numbers. Only the vector is stored.

Step 3

Photo is discarded

The image is never saved on our servers. Your files stay on your computer, unchanged.

What people use it for

Useful for anyone with more photos than they can browse.
