MediaOrganizer

A clear and repeatable way to organize years of photos and videos.

MediaOrganizer checks your files, uses their dates and locations to organize them, and helps you restore important information that is missing.

This keeps the result predictable and lets you add new photos and videos without changing the way your archive is organized.

Recover Location automatically looks for photos taken around the same time that already have location information, then presents the best candidates for review. New in MediaOrganizer 3.0, Add Location lets you fill in the place or date yourself when Recover Location cannot find a reliable match. You can use what you or someone in your family remembers—the place behind an old photo or the original date of a scanned one.

Scattered photo and video folders organized into a clear archive structure. — Bring together photos and videos from folders, drives, backups, and Apple Photos libraries in a clear structure you can continue using as your archive grows.

Who Is MediaOrganizer For?

MediaOrganizer is for anyone whose photos and videos have accumulated across folders, drives, backups, and photo libraries—and who wants one clear way to organize them as the collection grows.

Apple Photos Users

Bring together photos and videos collected across different Macs, backups, and Apple Photos libraries. MediaOrganizer organizes copies of the media without changing the original Photos library.

Lightroom Users

Create a clear and consistent folder structure before adding files to Lightroom, then use the same workflow for each new batch so the archive remains organized as the catalog grows.

Family Archives

Bring together photos and videos from phones, cameras, old computers, and family collections. For old or scanned photos, relatives can use memories of people and events to identify the place or approximate date. With Add Location in MediaOrganizer 3.0, they can bring that information back to the photo when Recover Location cannot find a reliable match.

Before Major Imports or Migrations

Use the same workflow whenever new photos or videos arrive. Each new batch follows the same clear organization, so your archive stays consistent without starting over.

Why Archive Structure Matters Over Time?

Photo and video collections rarely begin as archives. They grow a little at a time through new phones and cameras, copied folders, backups, exports, and moves from one computer or library to another. Over the years, the files can become scattered across many places and organized in different ways.

Media normalization means applying the same checks and organization to files that came from different sources. MediaOrganizer reads the dates and locations already stored in each file, uses them to build a consistent structure, and keeps uncertain cases available for review.

The result is an archive that remains easier to understand, search, maintain, and preserve over time.

Guides for Organizing Photo Archives

Archive problems often grow quietly: copies of the same photo appear in different folders, libraries, and backups; dates may no longer represent the original photo; and location information may be missing.

These guides explain how those situations develop and offer practical ways to bring scattered files back into a structure that remains clear as your archive grows.
