> Free desktop tools to reverse geocode photos, manage photo metadata, and organize large photo libraries on Windows

vesan.ai is a software distribution site by Vesa Pajula, a Finnish software developer. It offers free (freeware) desktop tools for Windows, focused on batch photo metadata management and reverse geocoding.

## Batch PhotoTools (v1.4.1)
The main product is Batch PhotoTools — a suite of five Windows desktop applications for batch reverse geocoding photos and managing photo metadata at scale:

- **Batch Geolocate** (reverse geocoding): Reads GPS coordinates from photos and reverse geocodes them into human-readable location names (country, city, neighborhood, POI/place name) written into IPTC/XMP metadata. Uses locally downloaded OpenStreetMap data — no API keys, no rate limits, completely offline. Handles 500,000+ photo libraries. Optional AI for landmark identification. Supports custom POI tagging (e.g., "Home", "Office").
- **Batch PhotoBrowser** (photo manager): Fast, keyboard-friendly photo browser for large collections. Browse any folder without import or catalog. Filter by location, keywords, rating, or person. Mark photos private with password protection. Supports drag-to-paint metadata onto photos.
- **Batch MetadataSync** (metadata synchronization): Synchronizes IPTC, XMP, and face tag metadata between Lightroom, Capture One, ACDSee, digiKam, and other photo apps. Bridges format differences so all apps see the same metadata.
- **Batch PhotoRater** (photo quality checker): Automatically detects blurry, too dark, too bright, and low-contrast photos. Batch-rate or delete them. Great for cleaning up after trips.
- **Batch PhotoFixer** (JPEG repair): Six-stage repair pipeline for damaged JPEG files. Fixes broken headers, corrupted quantization tables, incomplete image data. Creates repaired copies for side-by-side review — never modifies originals.

## Use Cases

## Outlook: Search to Export (v2.0)
A lightweight add-in for Microsoft Outlook classic (Windows) by Vesa Pajula (vesan.ai) that searches, filters and exports Outlook emails to Excel or CSV:

- **Date range or selected-messages export**: export received and/or sent mail for any date range (with subfolder coverage), or export exactly the messages selected in Outlook
- **Filters**: contact (sender/recipient, matches names and e-mail addresses), subject, message text; contact name and e-mail in separate columns
- **Message previews**: include the first 0-10 text lines of each message, with optional greeting stripping and marketing/bulk mail skipping
- **GDPR request mode**: finds every message where a person appears as sender or recipient, for answering GDPR Article 15 data subject access requests (DSAR); the export's summary sheet documents the search
- **Output**: Excel (typed date/time columns, frozen header, autofilter, summary sheet) or CSV (UTF-8, semicolon separators)
- **Private by design**: all processing happens locally, no telemetry, no cloud
- Requirements: Windows 10/11, Outlook classic (Microsoft 365 / Office 2016+; the New Outlook app does not support COM add-ins), .NET Framework 4.8
