Frequently Asked Questions

How does Photo Organizer protect my privacy?

Photo Organizer operates 100% offline. All file processing happens locally on your device, and your photos never leave your computer. We don't collect any personal data or usage analytics.

What file formats are supported?

Photo Organizer supports all major photo formats (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, RAW files) and video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI). The app reads EXIF metadata to intelligently organize your files.

Can I undo organization changes?

Yes! Photo Organizer offers both copy and move modes. We recommend using copy mode first to test the organization structure before committing to moving files.

How does duplicate detection work?

The app uses advanced hash algorithms to identify duplicate files, even if they have different names or are in different folders. You can choose to keep, delete, or move duplicates.

Is there a limit to how many photos I can organize?

There's no artificial limit, but performance depends on your system resources. For optimal performance, we recommend processing fewer than 5,000 files at once for large collections.
