“This is maybe the best app I’ve ever purchased. With this app I was able to organize my whole collection.“
J. Branson
“BEST. It sifted 2 years of video and pictures into chronological order, establishing folders with year, month, and file name with date“
C. Cropper
Magic. This app takes a time consuming process and automates it. Easy to setup and easy to use with tons of configuration options. Great job.

Great organizational tool! Great for people like me that like to procrastinate in sorting their photos. 10 years, almost 5,000 pictures/videos and they’re now organized!

Powerful and easy to use! Matched all my requirements including shooting date folder name, automatically import both photo and video files, automatic duplication checking
Pauliu
Really pleased! This does exactly what it says. I got it to work on all of my media files and various backups, about 120,000 images and video, amounting to about 300Gb.
