Search Photoshop files on Mac

Creative work moves fast. PSDs multiply, exports scatter across folders, and filenames rarely match what you remember. You need to find the hero image, a specific line of embedded text, or a concept from mood boards, then get back to editing. With Fenn on your Mac, you search in natural language and surface the exact items to review, from Photoshop projects and exports to linked assets and screenshots. Everything runs on your machine for privacy.

Why this saves real time for creatives

• No more perfect folder trees. Ask for what you remember and let Fenn surface the right images and references.

• Search across the whole project, packaged folders, exports, linked photos, copy decks, and reference screenshots.

• Land on what matters, a relevant PSD export, a screenshot with the phrase you recall, or the reference image you need, then open it in your creative app.

What you can search

• Photoshop projects and exports
  Point Fenn at your project folders and exported images, for example JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF. Search by product name, campaign tag, or copy lines, then review the surfaced results and open the file you need.

• Text inside images and screenshots
  Fenn understands text that is baked into images, helpful when the copy was rasterized in a PSD or only exists in a screenshot.

• Reference boards and copy decks
  If your copy lives in Word or Markdown, or you keep briefs and brand guides next to your PSDs, search them together so you never miss context.

Search modes that match your task

• Semantic mode
  Use natural language, great for visual intent and paraphrased copy, like “hero image with teal gradient and tall headline.”

• Keyword mode
  Exact phrases for product names, legal text, or CTAs.

• Hybrid mode
  Combine semantic and keyword to catch ideas and precise terms in one pass.

• Exact mode
  Force strict literal matches when every character matters.

Switch modes with one shortcut, then review the surfaced results and open the right file.

Agent Mode for heavy lifts

On deadline, ask one complex question and let Fenn do the first pass across your project.

Examples you can try:

• “All campaign images that mention ‘free returns’ and include the new logo. List them.”

• “Find exports that use a teal gradient background and a serif subhead.”

• “Show product shots that include a hand holding the bottle. Include related references from the brand folder.”

Private by design

Fenn runs on device by default. You choose which folders to index, for example PSD projects, exports, shared brand assets, and reference boards. Your work stays on your Mac.
