Recover the AI library you already built
You already have the work. It is sitting in Downloads, Downloads 2, AI Exports, client folders, external drives, local tools, and old projects. The files survived. The creative context did not. You do not have to start over.
The files survived. The creative context did not.
Months or years of AI work can end up as loose files: downloaded AI images in one folder, downloaded AI videos in another, final client selects somewhere else, and old AI projects you only half remember.
That is the painful part of an AI media library. The result is still on disk, but the prompt, project, source, model, notes, and reason you kept it are no longer attached.
You probably already own the work. You just do not own an organized library. GenCatalog helps you recover that library by turning scattered AI download folders into one searchable local archive.
Filenames do not remember what you were making
Random download names rarely tell you the prompt, source, model, project, client, or decision that made the result worth saving.
Duplicate folders hide the real archive
The same image or video can exist in Downloads, Downloads 2, a client folder, and an external drive. GenCatalog checks exact file hashes and skips duplicates by default.
Old work gets stranded outside your current workflow
A platform save button helps with what you create tomorrow. Local Import closes the gap for everything you already made yesterday.
From scattered folders to one AI media library.
The goal is not just moving files. It is reconnecting old AI images and videos with the creative memory that makes them findable, usable, and worth keeping.

Recover yesterday's generations
Local Import is for the library you already built: folders, exports, and old project media created before GenCatalog was part of the workflow.
Bring local tools and platform exports back together
Use it for AI download folders, API output folders, exported ZIPs you unpacked, and media from local tools or unsupported generators.
Rebuild the missing memory
While the batch is fresh, add source, model, prompt notes, tags, and project context. GenCatalog becomes your AI prompt archive, not just another folder.
Rediscover old AI projects
Once older media is imported, you can search across old and new work instead of remembering which drive, export folder, or project name held the file.
Choose a folder. Recover the context. Search again.
Start with one real AI download folder
Click Import in the toolbar, drag supported files into GenCatalog, or use Settings > Capture & Import > Local media files.
Let GenCatalog bring them together
Supported images and videos are copied into your local catalog. Exact duplicate hashes keep the same file from coming back as new.
Restore what the folder forgot
Use the review drawer to add source, model, tags, prompts, and notes while you still recognize the batch.
Rediscover it later
Your older local generations become searchable alongside new Grok, Higgsfield, Midjourney, Digen, Rogue Studio, and browser captures.
Organize downloaded AI images by what they mean, not where they landed.
Recover the prompt trail
When you still know what a file belongs to, add prompts, notes, tags, and source labels during review. That context is what makes older generations useful months later.
Rescue the library without multiplying clutter
Recovering a messy folder should not create a new mess inside the catalog. Exact hash checks keep already-imported files from being added again unless you choose Import anyway.
Search across old and new work
Once imported, older downloaded generations can be found by media type, date, tags, source, notes, prompt text you add, and the normal GenCatalog library views.
Safer cleanup after recovery
After important downloaded files are inside your catalog, you can make clearer decisions about what belongs in Downloads, project folders, external drives, or your normal backup.
Bring in the AI media you already have.
GenCatalog is built for local images and videos from supported platforms, API experiments, exported batches, and unsupported generators where a browser capture is not available yet.
Old generations become findable again.
"Organized my entire collection with ease. Even helped me find old gens that I didn't remember making."
Start with the folder that already bothers you.
Open GenCatalog, recover one real folder of downloaded generations, review the batch, and search for a file you used to find by memory. That is the point: old AI media becomes part of a library you can actually use.
Recover years of AI work.
Start with one folder that has been bothering you. Turn scattered files into a searchable local library you can actually remember.
