Hey folks, I have found a folder of photos on my drive, ranging over 7 years and 14 phones. The Pictures are sorted in folders by phone and I would like to get them in a folder structure by date of creation. Is there any tool that can do it for me, locally, without uploading it all to the Cloud, and without costing a limb? Thanks in advance!

    irfanview has and probably always be one of the most simple yet powerful tools for photo work that people don’t seem to know about.

    I just had a quick look and what you want may be possible. Q: How to use Batch conversion/rename to sort result pictures in folders with date-taken in folder name?
    A: In the Batch dialog, you can use Placeholders in the name of the output directory. If you set a directory name like “C:\sorted images\$E36868(%Y_%m_%d)\”, you will save the result files in folders with date-taken (format: YYYY_MM_DD) in folder name, like “C:\sorted images\2011_06_23\”.
