Every FolioSort feature — matched to what's actually wrong with your library

Point it at the pile, pick a folder template, and watch ten thousand files land where they belong — previewed first, undoable after.

Sorts by the date the camera wrote at the moment of capture — not the day your computer last touched the file. {YYYY}/{MM} and it's done.

Turns the GPS coordinates inside your photos into real place names, then files each shot under Country/City. Resolved on-device.

CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF and twenty-odd more, read straight off the card — plus BRAW and R3D cinema files. No conversion, no catalog.

Turn IMG_4471.JPG into 2024-07-13_Lisbon_0142.JPG — EXIF tokens, regex capture groups, seven strategies, live preview of every line.

Four drives of half-overlapping copies collapse into one clean archive. The best copy is kept, the originals are never deleted for you.

Take only the JPEGs. Or only the RAWs. Or everything but the videos. Pick from the types your scan actually found — with counts and sizes.

A trip, a wedding, a tournament — grouped into its own folder by the time window it happened in, across every camera that was there.

Getting Ready, Ceremony, Reception. Define the blocks once and every shooter's files route themselves into the right act of the day.

Don't know which module you need? Say what you want to happen and the wizard assembles the run for you. No manual, no vocabulary to learn.

Byte-identical copies by checksum, plus the resized and re-edited near-twins most tools walk straight past. You choose which copy survives.

Every frame scored for sharpness, blurriest first, with a live slider for the cut-off. Sharp keepers are never touched.

Detected by content, missing camera data, format and aspect ratio — not just a filename. Clears the screenshot pile out of your real photos.

Ten near-identical frames go in, one keeper comes out — scored for sharpness, faces and open eyes. You approve every single call.

Describe the photo — "kids at the beach", a receipt's wording, a place and a month — and it surfaces. No tags, no captions, no upload.

Add a couple of photos of someone and FolioSort finds every other one, across twenty years and any folder. Not a single face is uploaded.

No example photo needed: every face in your folders is grouped into people automatically. Name them once, then browse a whole life by person.

Writes the names into .xmp sidecars beside your files, so Capture One, Lightroom and digiKam can search your RAW library by person. Originals untouched.

Reads Google's JSON sidecars and puts the real capture dates and GPS back into your photos before sorting them. The step every other guide skips.

Detects what kind of export you dropped in — Google, WhatsApp, iCloud — repairs it, de-duplicates it and sorts it into a verified archive you own.

Copy-first, checksum-verified with XXHash64 or SHA-256, deletions to the Trash and never past it, and fifty batches of undo that survive a restart.

Synology, QNAP, SMB and AFP shares, iCloud Drive with auto-download, and folder structures Immich and Synology Photos index natively.

Step-by-step routes out of Google Photos to a Mac, a PC, a Synology, Immich, iCloud, Nextcloud or S3 — written for the export you actually get.

Forty-six everyday photo and video formats free, forty-five RAW and cinema formats with Pro. The full table, kept in sync with the app.

Import, organize, rename, de-duplicate, cull — your whole ritual saved as one button, with a review pause anywhere you want one.

Save an AI search — "the dog on the beach" — as a real folder on disk that keeps refilling itself as you import. Your originals never move.

Google keeps delivering scheduled exports; FolioSort watches the folder, waits for multi-part downloads to finish, and merges only what's new.
