How to use the Image Sorter & Organiser

  1. 1Drop the images to organise.
  2. 2Choose a sort key: dimensions, file size, orientation or date taken.
  3. 3Set grouping buckets and review the sorted table.
  4. 4Export a ZIP with one folder per group and an optional CSV.

A season of product photography ends up as one folder: phone shots mixed with camera exports, portraits mixed with landscapes, 400 px supplier thumbnails next to 6000 px hero images, all named IMG_ followed by a number. Before any of it can be resized or uploaded it needs sorting. The Image Sorter & Organiser is an image sorter that reads every file's dimensions, size, orientation and capture date in the browser and lets you organise photos by size, shape or date and export them in tidy folders. If you have ever needed to sort images by dimension or sort photos by date without installing anything, this is it.

How it works

  1. Drop the folder, up to 200 files at a time. Each file is decoded just enough to read its width, height and EXIF date; nothing is re-encoded.
  2. Pick a sort key: Dimensions (pixel count or longest side), File size, Orientation (portrait, landscape, square) or Date taken (EXIF, falling back to the file's modified date).
  3. Choose grouping rules, such as buckets by longest side (under 1000 px, 1000 to 1999, 2000 and up) or by month.
  4. Review the sorted table with thumbnails and totals per group.
  5. Export a ZIP with one folder per group, and optionally a CSV listing every file's name, dimensions, size, orientation and date.

The original files are untouched; the ZIP contains copies placed into folders and, if you switch it on, renamed with a numbered prefix so they open in sorted order everywhere.

Why it matters

Marketplace rules are numeric, and sorting by number is how you find the files that break them:

  • Amazon needs at least 1000 px on the longest side for zoom and recommends 2000; a bucket of "under 1000 px" is your list of images to upscale or reshoot.
  • Etsy wants 2000 px on the shortest side and crops thumbnails to 4:3, so grouping by orientation shows which landscape shots to lead with.
  • Daraz caps files at 3 MB and TikTok Shop at 5 MB; a size sort surfaces the offenders in one glance.
  • Shopify collections look best with one aspect ratio; the orientation group tells you what to pad.
  • Dated folders make it easy to prove when a product photo was created if a copyright dispute comes up.

Tips

  • Sort by date first when a shoot spans several days, then by orientation within each day.
  • Use the CSV as a shot list: it doubles as a record of which files went to which marketplace.
  • Combine the "under 1000 px" bucket with the Image Upscaler, and the "over 3 MB" bucket with the Bulk Image Compressor.
  • Remove duplicates before sorting with the Duplicate Image Finder so counts are honest.
  • Give sorted files meaningful names with the Bulk Rename + Convert tool, for example sku-angle-01.jpg.
  • Run the Image Dimension & Size Checker on a group to test it against a specific platform's rules, and strip dates and locations with the EXIF / Metadata Remover once you have used them for sorting.

Privacy

Reading dimensions and EXIF dates happens in your browser. Your images never leave your browser; the ZIP is assembled on your device and downloaded directly.

Frequently asked questions

What can I sort by?

Dimensions (pixel count or longest side), file size, orientation (portrait, landscape or square) and date taken from EXIF, with the file's modified date as a fallback. Sorting can be ascending or descending, and grouping rules put files into buckets such as size ranges or months.

Does it change my files?

No. The tool only reads headers and pixel dimensions; images are never re-encoded. The exported ZIP contains copies placed into folders and, if you enable it, given a numbered prefix. Your originals remain exactly as they were on your device.

How are the folders named in the ZIP?

After the grouping you chose, for example "landscape", "portrait" and "square" for orientation, "under-1000px" and "2000px-and-up" for size buckets, or "2026-03" for months. File names inside keep their original names unless numbering is enabled, in which case a sort-order prefix is added.

What is in the CSV export?

One row per image with file name, width, height, megapixels, file size in KB, orientation, date taken and the group it was placed in. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets and is handy as a shot list or upload record.

Can it read the date from HEIC or RAW files?

HEIC yes; the browser decodes it and the EXIF date is read. Camera RAW formats are not supported in the browser, so export JPG from your camera software first. Photos edited by some apps lose their EXIF date, in which case the file's modified date is used.
