The Image Organization is an application designed to help you effortlessly organize your photo and video collection into folders based on specific date formats. This application allows you to automatically categorize your image and video files into year, year-month, and year-month-day formats, enabling you to sort thousands of files within minutes. Additionally, besides automatic categorization, it allows you to quickly separate your photo files into categories of your choice using the manual page. Another feature of the program is its ability to locate and categorize image and video files no matter how deeply buried or scattered they are. By selecting the “include subfolders” option in automatic categorization, the application will effortlessly find and retrieve these files for you.

When you launch the app, you are presented with two main options: “Manual” and “Automatic”. The “Manual” option allows you to create buttons under each photo with category names that you specify. You can then categorize photos by clicking the corresponding buttons. The “Automatic” option, on the other hand, sorts photos automatically based on a specified date format and places them into the appropriate folders.
