I have around 56k photos clicked from my mobile in a folder in windows. As such it becomes difficult for me to browse among this huge collection.
My Desktop shows down when I even open that folder.

Please suggest me some photo Manager/ Organizer software.


I like the way Adobe Lightroom organizes the photos, in separate directories based on the date of creation. But I am using Lightroom to organize my DSLR clicks. Hence please dont suggest Lightroom.
Do not suggest Adobe Bridge also. I found it very slow. And the preview is not as good as Lightroom.

Please suggest something where I can get good previews as well. Windows photos takes a lot of time to open a photo.

I hope you have backed up all photos on some cloud.

Try photomove. It will move photos from single folder to multiple folders. I haven't personally used it but it looks decent

Honestly, when I had to do the exact same thing, I couldn't do anything but work like a mule and organize them myself......

I hope you find a way to organize your thousands of pics. (I do it manually and using ImageGlass to view multiple photos on my screen).
I just wish everyone who wants to organize their photos find it as an opportunity to make "memories". (It's not for organizing pics, but about the 'process' of it.)

I highly suggest watching this video:

Yeah, appreciating the photos takes even more time to do the already Sisyphean task! Though admittedly we all fall down that void :blush:
