These Terms of Sale govern the use and purchase of the Scrapbook Pixixel application, available on the Apple Mac App Store.
The application offers a free trial period of one (1) month from the first launch. During this period, all features are accessible without restriction.
At the end of the trial period, an in-app purchase is required to continue using the application.
Full access to Scrapbook Pixixel is obtained through a one-time in-app purchase via the Mac App Store.
The price shown corresponds to the European App Store zone. Apple automatically adjusts the price according to your country's App Store.
The purchase grants a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Scrapbook Pixixel on devices linked to your Apple ID.
The license is perpetual: once purchased, the application remains functional without any time limit.
In accordance with Mac App Store conditions, refund requests must be made directly to Apple:
The publisher cannot process refunds directly.
Scrapbook Pixixel does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. The application works entirely locally on your Mac.
All analyses (visual auto-tags, face detection, perceptual hashing for duplicate search, visual similarity vectors, natural-language search, SHA-256 integrity check) are performed locally via Apple system frameworks (Vision.framework, CoreImage, CryptoKit). No image, no excerpt, no vector and no file is transmitted to a third-party server, to the publisher, to Apple, or to any remote artificial-intelligence service.
The people recognition feature computes, for each detected face, an identity signature — biometric data within the meaning of the GDPR. This processing is optional, runs entirely on your Mac and involves no transmission: no image, no biometric signature and no name is sent to the publisher, to Apple or to any third party. You are solely responsible for the lawfulness of indexing and processing the photographs you import, in particular when they depict identifiable persons, especially third parties: it is your responsibility to obtain any required consents and to comply with applicable law (GDPR and local laws on biometric data), particularly in a professional context. As the publisher has no access to any of this data, it does not act as a data controller for the content of your libraries.
For more details, see our privacy policy.
Scrapbook Pixixel, its source code, interface, icons, and name are the exclusive property of Éric Fréour. Any unauthorized reproduction or distribution is prohibited.
The application is provided "as is." The publisher shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage related to the use of the application, including data loss.
Scrapbook Pixixel accesses your files in read-only mode and never modifies your original files. Sorting, classification, rating, metadata editing, color-label marking and Set creation are stored exclusively in the application's local catalog. Renamed exports and XMP sidecars are written as separate files into a folder of your choice.
The user remains solely responsible for backing up their original files. The publisher recommends following a suitable backup strategy (for example Peter Krogh's "3-2-1" principle: three copies on two different media, one of them off-site).
Scrapbook Pixixel offers assisted analysis features (AI auto-tags, face and technical-quality detection, duplicate detection via perceptual hash, visual similarity search, natural-language search, SHA-256 integrity check, import of iView Media Pro .ivc catalogs). These features run exclusively locally, on the user's hardware, with no connection to any remote service.
Results produced by these analyses (tags, scores, hashes, vectors, statistics) are stored in the application's local index and in the .sbpixixel catalog. The publisher does not guarantee the completeness or absolute accuracy of these algorithmic results, which may vary with content, macOS version and hardware used.
Importing an iView Media Pro (.ivc) catalog never modifies the original .ivc file or the referenced media files. A new .sbpixixel bundle is created at a location chosen by the user.
macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later.
Scrapbook Pixixel supports over 70 file formats. However, certain 3D formats (FBX, 3DS, C4D, DXF) are indexed and appear in your library but cannot be previewed directly — macOS does not include a native QuickLook plugin for these formats.
This limitation is inherent to macOS and does not constitute a defect in the application.
These Terms of Sale are governed by French law. Any disputes shall fall under the jurisdiction of the French courts.
The publisher reserves the right to modify these Terms of Sale at any time. The current version is the one published on this page.
In case of discrepancy between translated versions, the French version shall prevail.
