Photo, video, and folder examples

Keep the original name with Prefix mode

Prefix mode is useful when the original camera filename still matters.

Create sortable timestamp filenames

Replace mode produces filenames that sort chronologically in almost every file manager.

Add context with Custom mode

Custom mode combines a safe label with the original timestamp.

Sort into Year/Month folders

Photos/
├── 2022/
│   └── 12/20221224-183012.jpg
└── 2023/
    ├── 07/20230715-142310.jpg
    └── 08/20230802-091544.mp4

The folder date and filename date come from the same embedded metadata.

Handle matching timestamps safely

If two files would receive the same name, Foldnize keeps both by adding a numeric suffix: 20230715-142310.jpg, then 20230715-142310-1.jpg.
