Polarr is an artificial intelligence startup headquartered in downtown San Jose, CA building photo management and editing. The company was founded in August 2014 by former Stanford University masters' student, Borui Wang. The company received initial funding from Pejman Mar Ventures and StartX. Polarr currently offers two products: Polarr Photo Editor and Polarr Album Plus.

History

In February 2015, Polarr launched an online photo editor. It was one of the earliest in-browser photo editors capable of editing RAW images.

In June 2015, the first mobile version of Polarr Photo Editor was released for iOS. The app was similar in features to the in-browser photo editor and received more than 250,000 downloads within the first 48 hours of availability in the App Store.[1] An Android version was launched a month later in the Google Play Store.

In the fall of 2015, Polarr released photo editors for Windows 10 and macOS.[2]

Polarr was named by Apple as Best of the App Store for 2015 and 2016.[3]

In October 2017, Polarr released Album Plus for iOS.
