Are your files scattered across DVD-Rs, HDDs, NAS-drives, CD-Rs, flash cards, memory sticks, and zip disks?

Do you have troubles in finding and organizing your files?

**WinCatalog 2026** makes it simple to catalog and search various media for files, documents, PDF, video, images, RAW files and music **no matter where they're stored**!

Please note folks, the new WinCatalog 2026 is **the most powerful version of WinCatalog to date**! It uses an **ultra-fast database engine** at its core and can open collections of any size in seconds! In addition, WinCatalog 2026 now stores **picture thumbnails inside the collection files**! It can also grab thumbnails from video files, for PDF-files and from RAW images (in addition to regular JPEGs, PNGs, etc). It also adds a new feature called **"Scanning Profiles"** - an ability to have several different scanning options and easily switch between them.

WinCatalog 2026 creates and maintains a database containing relevant information about all files stored on your removable media. It can extract tags from JPEG photos, MP3 files and other audio formats, it can scan inside ZIP, RAR (including RAR5), 7zip archives and can even retrieve **Audio CD track names from the Internet**.

Collectors take note: WinCatalog 2026 can be easily adapted for non-digital items. **Catalog your books, videos, or even postage stamps and coins!**

A recent version introduces a new feature **User Defined Fields**. It allows to add any text fields to files and items description - you can use those fields for searching and sorting your files and any other items. Besides, you can add any picture to an item (file) description. It also introduces the following: the scanning algorithm has been completely renewed, **the speed of scanning a disk has been greatly increased** and the process of updating a catalog has been renewed and works much faster.

All this combined with the **powerful report generator** makes WinCatalog 2026 the best cataloger for beginning and advanced users, and everyone in between. WinCatalog 2026 has an ability to generate XML reports and to export Thumbnails and Icons into HTML reports, and produce multi-page browsable HTML reports.

In addition to other cool features, WinCatalog 2026 has command line support for most used operations, Zip compression for backups of the collection files, synchronization report (it displays which items were added, removed or changed since last disk scan).

This version provides the ability to **delete real files right from WinCatalog** (which was the most wanted feature among all the feedback we collected for the past 5 years). Now we ask for your feedback on the new feature! The search feature was also improved, now filtering a catalog branch (using the Look In filter) works extremely faster!

One of the last updates also adds the ability to **store catalog related data outside the catalog file** (so, WinCatalog is now cloud folders friendly), an ability to change the size of the thumbnails in the Thumbnails view, to use dynamic patterns for the (Display) Name column (built from ID3 tags for music files). The subsequent updates will add the ability to copy entries inside the catalog, further improvements of the search feature, and more.

For Audio CDs fans, WinCatalog added the support of the **MusicBrainz online database**. Now in addition to the disc title and track names, WinCatalog downloads and stores album covers in the catalog.

Please note folks: one of the recently added key features of WinCatalog is the **improved search speed** - we moved the search index outside the catalog file, so now WinCatalog can use the full power of your computer when using the search index. If the catalog file (and the search index) is located on an SSD drive, the search may be up to 5 times faster on an average computer). The second major improvement is the ability to **open more than one Main tab at a time**. Previously, you could open several Search tabs at a time, but only one Main tab is allowed. The new version removes this limitation. The ability to **save searches** is another new feature of WinCatalog 2026. Now you can restart frequently used searches just in two mouse clicks. Below you may find short videos showing the first two features in action:

Also, WinCatalog 2026.7 now lets you add Audio CDs and other media without inserting them into a drive by entering the artist's name, release title, or barcode, performing an online search, and saving the details in your catalog, currently supporting MusicBrainz.org with plans to include more data sources in the future.

The latest update — WinCatalog 2026 — brings **AI Bridge** — a brand-new companion tool that uses a **locally installed AI model** running entirely on your computer to analyze image thumbnails already stored in your catalog. For each image, AI Bridge automatically generates a short description of the scene, a set of keywords, a category label, and a shot type. All of this is saved in the catalog and becomes **instantly searchable using natural language**: just type something like "dog on beach" or "birthday party" and find the matching images even if none of those words appear in the file names or EXIF tags. Because AI Bridge runs 100% locally, **no images or data ever leave your computer** — and since the AI models are open-source and downloaded once, there are no subscription fees or per-image costs.

The new version also works for **eComic files** (CBZ, CBR, CB7) — WinCatalog 2026 now scans comic book archives and reads embedded Comic Info metadata, so your entire digital comics collection is fully cataloged and searchable alongside everything else. And with the new **Font files** support, font files are recognized and their metadata captured, making it easy to browse and search your font library.
