Best photo orginiser?

Zulu · 2020-05-29 10:18:56

Folks, I've just done a big tidy up of old drives and phones etc and as a result have a folder with 164 subfolders and 62K photos. There are (for sure) a bucket tonne of duplicates, and near duplicates. And all sorts of naming conventions. Any suggestions for a tool to sort, delete duplicates, and rename to a standard…

Any suggestions for a tool to sort, delete duplicates, and rename to a standard (ideally with date)?
Thanks

(Freeware would be super awesome)

Pure duplicates use dupeguru. You can set reference (like the organised folder set) and delete all copies elsewhere in a few clicks. Only works for binary duplicates though, resizes etc won't match.

I just came across this and wanted to post it up here. It's called Tropy. It's made for historical photgraph cataloging. It won't do anything for the op's predicament. However, it seems like a nice elegant tool for storing away newly arrived batches. https://tropy.org/
