Are you searching for the best shots from dozens of similar images? AI Close-ups in Zoner Studio can help. Powered by AI, this feature automatically zooms in on the most important details so you can decide which photo is worth keeping in seconds. No clicking, no waiting, and no tedious searching.    

Anyone who’s ever photographed a wedding, a family gathering, or sports event knows what it’s like to come home with a memory card full of hundreds, or even thousands of nearly identical images. The differences are often in the small details: subtle changes in facial expressions, a fraction of a second in movement, or slight variations in focus. These details are key to deciding which photos make the album and which end up in the trash.

But manually checking every single photo, zooming in on faces, or hunting for the sharpest action shot can take hours. AI Close-ups make your workflow noticeably faster and easier.  

AI saves you time

New AI Close-ups are available in the Manager module of Zoner Studio, right above image previews. Enable it by clicking the magnifying glass icon labeled AI.  

Zoner Studio then automatically detects the most important objects in each photo and zooms in on them in the preview. You’ll see both the full image and a close-up showing how sharp the key part is.   

When comparing several photos, you can easily tell which one is the sharpest, has the best eye focus, or captures the best facial expression.

What’s more, everything works locally and offline. No uploading images to servers, no waiting for processing. Zoner Studio analyzes the photos directly from your computer, at full speed, even without an internet connection.  

AI Close-ups can recognize several types of subjects: 

• People—captures entire figures and facial expressions without manually zooming. 
• Animals—perfect for pets, wildlife, and exotic animals. 
• Birds—a dedicated category for bird-watchers and nature lovers. 
• Vehicles—from bicycles and motorcycles, to cars, trains, and trucks. 
• Airplanes—perfect for aviation enthusiasts, air shows, and exhibitions.
  

The selection is reliable, but if AI happens to pick a different subject than intended, you can click anywhere in the image on the left to view that part.   

When AI comes most in handy

The biggest advantage of AI Close-ups comes when comparing large numbers of similar images, such as with continuous shooting, sports, reportage, or portrait photography.  

• Family and group photos: Instantly spot who looks good and who blinked, without endlessly zooming and checking each face. 
• Sports and wildlife photography: Continuous shooting mode results in a high volume of photos. Easily find the sharpest moment in a series of fast action shots.  
• Weddings and reportage photography: Perfect for selecting the best image from a long series of events. 
• Casual shooting: Even if you take photos just for fun, AI Close-ups can cut sorting time from hours to minutes. Spend more time enjoying your photos and less time sifting through them. 
  

Zoner Studio is a smart solution not just for editing, but also for effective photo organization and selection. This is something many competitors offer only through plugins or external applications.
