SortPhotos is a Python-based command-line utility that organizes photos and videos into structured directories based on their date and time metadata. It can sort files by year, month, day, or any custom format using EXIF and other metadata tags, making it easy to transform messy collections into neatly arranged photo libraries. The tool works with both images and videos, automatically renames files if desired, and can filter which metadata groups or tags to prioritize when determining file dates. SortPhotos includes options for copying versus moving files, recursive searches, silent or test modes, and customizable start times for when a “day” begins. It also prevents duplicate files by comparing content, with an option to keep duplicates if needed. With support for automation through launch agents or cron jobs, SortPhotos is well-suited for photographers, archivists, and anyone looking to streamline large personal or professional media collections.
