Built with Swift and AppKit, not Qt. Full Retina display support, Apple Silicon optimization, and deep Finder integration. It looks and feels like a real Mac app.
XnView browses and views files. FolioSort automatically organizes them into structured folder hierarchies by date, camera, lens, and more — no manual dragging required.
Full regex with capture groups and live match highlighting — not just simple find-and-replace patterns. See exactly what every file will be renamed to before committing.
Sort photos into city and country folders automatically from GPS EXIF data. Turn scattered vacation photos into Portugal/Lisbon/ folder structures in seconds.
Videographers get first-class support for Blackmagic BRAW, RED R3D, and ARRI footage — formats that XnView MP simply cannot handle.
Every file transfer is verified with XXHash64 or SHA-256 checksum verification. Your originals are never at risk — not a single byte is lost or corrupted.
How photographers and videographers use FolioSort instead of XnView
Stop dragging files around in XnView. Drop a folder into FolioSort and let it auto-sort thousands of photos into clean 2026/03 March/Canon R5/ hierarchies.
Sort multi-camera shoots by camera model and date automatically. Combine photos from 3 photographers into one organized structure in seconds, not hours.
Batch organize decades of unsorted photos into clean hierarchies. FolioSort reads EXIF dates even from old JPEGs and sorts them by year, month, and camera.
Stop dragging files manually. Download FolioSort free, drop your messiest folder, and watch it organize itself in seconds.
