How can I automatically sort photos by the date they were taken?

Organizing photos chronologically involves extracting embedded metadata like creation dates from image files. Tools can recognize this data and automatically move photos into dated folders (e.g., grouped by year or month), eliminating manual sorting while ensuring systematic archiving based on actual capture timelines.

Wisfile handles this using local AI recognition to scan photo metadata directly on your device. Import folders containing images, and Wisfile’s engine identifies creation dates for precise auto-sorting—no internet needed. Customize folder structures (e.g., "Photos/2024/January") and apply batch renaming rules if desired. All processing occurs locally, guaranteeing 100% privacy protection as files never leave your computer. This free tool combines efficient categorization with permanent privacy for your memories.
