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

Home, Timeline, Map, People, Events and Places over every folder on every drive, nothing imported — and an unplugged drive stays visible as greyed tiles until it comes back.

Space used, share of RAW, top camera, busiest day, the hour you shoot most — every number opens the photos it counts, and the share card is made on your computer.

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. Only the coordinates leave the machine, never the photo.

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

When a file lands where another already has its name, both are shown side by side — thumbnail, date taken, pixel size, file size, folder — with Keep Both as the default.

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.

Nine hundred frames, one key each: keep, reject, one to five stars, a colour label. The ratings are written into the photos, so Lightroom and Capture One already know your picks.

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.

Proposes keywords from a 303-tag vocabulary on the device, you review them as photo cards, and the ones you keep are written into XMP and IPTC — a sidecar for RAW. Undo removes only what it added.

Turns each photo's GPS into city, state and country and writes them into IPTC and XMP, where Lightroom, Bridge and Apple Photos read them. Undo restores exactly what was there.

Fills in missing dates from the file name, folder or neighbouring photos, shifts a camera whose clock was wrong, and sets a date — even just a year — on scanned prints.

Mirrors the library to another drive with the same folders, re-reads and hash-checks every copy, and copies only what changed on later runs. Nothing on the backup is ever deleted.

Flags every file as intact, modified, corrupted, missing or new — including silent bit rot, where the content changed but the size and date did not — and restores it from the verified backup.

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.

Set one crop and apply it to every photo of the same size, written as new copies — the originals stay as they are.

Several photos or screenshots into one tall image, side by side, a grid, a PDF or a contact sheet.

A CSV of where every moved file went, for Lightroom or any catalog that lost track of them. It only reads.
