A new chapter for Polarr Next
Polarr Next was built to help you move faster with AI-powered culling and editing. Now, we’re taking that experience further with Pixieset Photo Editor — a more connected workflow that brings culling, editing, and delivery together in one place.
You can continue using Polarr Next as usual until October 13, 2026 while we transition to this new experience.

What this means for you
You can continue using Polarr Next as usual until October 13, 2026, when it will be sunset.
During this time:
All culling and editing features remain fully available
Your projects and AI Styles stay accessible and under your control
You can continue exporting with available credits or an active subscription
We recommend backing up your files and saving your project’s .catalog file locally so your AI Styles and editing history are saved for each project.
After October 13, 2026:
Polarr Next will no longer be available
All account data, projects, and AI Styles will be removed
Note: Starting April 13, 2026, all new in-app purchases for Polarr Next will be disabled. Export credits and new subscriptions will no longer be available.
Important dates
