Photo ReleaserFrom your camera to your hard drive, with the date in every name

Summary

Photo Releaser is a tool to move your images from your camera to your hard drive. The images are automatically renamed in the format yyyy-mm-dd Description nn.ext, for example 2026-10-11 Texel 01.jpg. Because the date is in the file name, you can edit the image without losing the date, and the images stay in the right order when you sort by name.

• Read shows a table with one row per date (the date the photo was taken), where you enter a description, for example the place.
• Start moves the files to an output folder, or renames them in the input folder.
• The new names end with a number per date, in the order the photos were taken. Existing files are never overwritten.

Everything about using Photo Releaser is in the manual. Tip: use Filename Checker for more advanced renaming, for example of your current photo archives.

Installation

If necessary, you will be prompted to install the required .NET Desktop Runtime when you launch the app. When you launch a newly released version, Windows may display a warning. If you see the message "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting." you can click "More info" and then "Run anyway". Alternatively, open the properties of the .exe file and select the "Unblock" checkbox. Read more...
