It copies everything.
Every photo and video in your library comes down to your computer as an untouched original. Copy-only. iCloud stays exactly as it was.
You name the folders. It fills them. Auto-sorted and auto-named at frontier speeds. Nothing is ever deleted.
Then from $4.99 for 1,000 photos, charged only once it’s working.
Sortr is a photo organizer that does the whole job for you. It looks at every photo from your iCloud library, puts a copy in the folder you'd have chosen and gives it a name that says what's in it. Videos come along too, copied into their own Videos folder. You decide the folders. It does the thousands of little decisions.
Every photo and video in your library comes down to your computer as an untouched original. Copy-only. iCloud stays exactly as it was.
Travel, Pets, Receipts: you pick them, Sortr builds them.
IMG_4821.HEIC becomes golden-retriever-looking-up.jpg. Search your computer for "beach" and actually find the beach.
Pick a photo to see the name your camera gave it, and the one Sortr gives it: three to six words that say what’s in it. Videos keep their names and go in their own Videos folder.
Sortr was built copy-first and private by default. Here is exactly what happens to your library.
Sortr only reads from iCloud and copies. It has no delete button for your library, by design. Your originals are checked after copying and kept read-only.
You get your photos onto your computer with Apple’s own apps. Sortr never sees your Apple Account or password.
To sort and name a photo, a small preview and any text in it are sent to the AI. Full-size originals never leave your computer.
The AI is included in the price. You never need an OpenAI account, a key or a bill of your own.
When the AI isn’t confident, the photo goes in a Review folder. Nothing for you to check; look whenever you like.
Your first 50 photos are free. Then pay once for your library size, charged only after 10% has sorted. No subscription.
Not sure how many you have? On iPhone, open Photos and scroll to the very bottom of your Library. Count photos only. Videos are free.
Every plan includes AI sorting, AI naming, the Sortr chat and the Review folder. Videos are copied for free. Nothing is deleted.
Start step 1 first. Downloading a big library can take a few hours.
Use Apple’s free iCloud for Windows, or export from Photos on a Mac. You sign in to Apple, not to Sortr.
Sign in with your email and see your own photos sorted and named before you pay anything.
To sort the rest, Sortr puts a hold on your card. It’s only charged once 10% of your library has sorted.
