Both types of licenses include the same features and allow installation on any number of computers per a license, but Personal license is restricted to non-commercial or educational use, only whereas Professional / Business license includes all types of use, including enterprise, professional and managed IT, non-profit and government use, plus priority technical and maintenance support.

In other words, if you plan to use WinCatalog at home, it is enough to buy a personal license. But if you want to use it at work or for your business, you should buy a professional license.

WinCatalog 2026.1.1 is available now. We focused this update on scan reliability, fixing window focus bugs, and tuning the AI Bridge.

Better Scan Error Reporting

Unexpected errors during long scans—like access denials or missing system folders—used to trigger partial scan warnings that weren’t always useful. We cleaned this up:

• WinCatalog skips well-known system folders entirely, eliminating spurious partial scan warnings.
• Scanning and syncing now share the same folder-listing error logic. WinCatalog downgrades race conditions (like a temporary file being deleted while scanning) to warnings instead of failing the folder parse entirely.
• You can toggle a new “Show errors after scan” checkbox directly from the error dialog.
• We added a -ScanErrors [Show|Skip|Default] command-line flag so you can suppress or show the error dialog in batch scripts.

AI Bridge Tuning

Hello, we’re glad to announce a new major update, WinCatalog 2026. The version number is 2026.1.

This release adds AI-powered image analysis, support for several new file types, and improvements based on user feedback.

AI-powered image descriptions with AI Bridge

WinCatalog 2026 introduces AI Bridge, a companion tool that uses a local AI model running on your computer to analyze image thumbnails already stored in your catalog. For each image, AI Bridge generates a short caption describing the scene, a set of keywords, a category label, and a shot type (close-up, medium shot, etc.).

Hello, we are pleased to announce the release of WinCatalog 2024.16, bringing new productivity features, improved search functionality, and enhanced system reliability.

New Keyboard Shortcuts for Tab Management

Working with multiple tabs is now more convenient with newly added keyboard shortcuts. Press CTRL+W or CTRL+F4 to close the current tab, CTRL+SHIFT+W or CTRL+SHIFT+F4 to close all tabs at once (except the last main tab), and CTRL+T to open a new Catalog tab. These shortcuts align with common browser conventions, making tab navigation more intuitive and efficient.

Hello, we are pleased to announce the release of WinCatalog 2024.15, bringing improvements to scanning reliability, long path support, and overall system stability.

Enhanced Scanning Stability

The stability of interaction with system components like File Explorer has been significantly improved. WinCatalog now handles system-level operations more reliably, reducing potential conflicts and ensuring smoother cataloging operations even during intensive scanning sessions.

More Robust MediaInfo Processing

The MediaInfo module has been strengthened to handle incorrect shell thumbnails correctly (if the option to grab system thumbnails is selected). This improvement ensures that WinCatalog can accurately extract and display media information even when encountering problematic or malformed thumbnail data, preventing potential scanning interruptions.
