When this is useful
A local library is useful when you repeatedly use project screenshots, drawing references, UI examples, study diagrams, writing materials, or visual inspiration.
PhotoAny
Local image asset library for reference images

PhotoAny combines desktop image floating with local asset management, so you can collect, view, arrange, and reuse visual references without turning it into a cloud photo library.
How PhotoAny helps
PhotoAny gives you a local place to collect and organize images, then use them as floating desktop references when you need them.
How it differs from a cloud photo library
PhotoAny is centered on local reference workflows on Windows. It is not a cloud photo library or a team collaboration library.
