AI File Sorter

AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI to organize all files and intelligently suggest better file names for image files, based on their visual content. It is designed to reduce clutter, improve consistency, and make files easier to find later, whether for review, archiving, or long-term storage.

The app can analyze picture files locally and suggest meaningful, human-readable names. For example, a generic file like IMG_2048.jpg can be renamed to something descriptive such as clouds_over_lake.jpg. All rename suggestions are optional and always require your approval.

AI File Sorter helps tidy up cluttered folders such as Downloads, external drives, or NAS storage by automatically grouping files based on their names, extensions, folder context, and learned organization patterns.

Instead of relying on fixed rules, the app gradually builds an internal understanding of how your files are typically organized and named. This allows it to make more consistent categorization and naming suggestions over time, while still letting you review and adjust everything before anything is applied.

Categories (and optional subcategories) are suggested for each file, and for supported file types, rename suggestions are provided as well. Once you confirm, the required folders are created automatically and files are sorted accordingly.

Privacy-first by design: AI File Sorter runs entirely on your device, using local AI models such as LLaMa 3B and Mistral 7B. No files, filenames, images, or metadata are uploaded anywhere, and no telemetry is sent. An internet connection is only used if you explicitly choose to enable a remote model.

How It Works

- Point the app at a folder or drive - Files (and image content, when applicable) are analyzed locally - Category and rename suggestions are generated - You review and adjust if needed - done
