Quick Navigation

đŸŽ¯ Getting Started

Luxe Organizer is designed to be incredibly simple. No technical knowledge required. Just select a folder, customize your naming pattern, preview, and click rename. That's it.
1 Download & Launch

Download Luxe Organizer from our website. It's a standalone application — no installation required. Just double-click to run.

Windows: Run LuxeOrganizer.exe

2 Select Your Photo Folder

Click "📁 Select Folder" and choose the folder containing your photos. Luxe Organizer will automatically scan all supported files:

  • Photos: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, RAW formats (NEF, CR2, ARW, etc.)
  • Videos: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and more

Check "Include Subfolders" to process nested directories.

3 Configure Your Naming Pattern

Luxe Organizer offers three template rows for different file types:

  • 📷 WITH EXIF: For photos with camera metadata
  • 🌐 NO EXIF: For screenshots and edited images without metadata
  • đŸŽŦ VIDEO: For video files

🔧 Building Your Perfect Naming Pattern

Available Fields for EXIF Photos

  • Make — Camera manufacturer (NIKON, CANON, SONY)
  • Model — Camera model (Z50, EOS R5, A7IV)
  • Date — Date taken (20241201)
  • Time — Time taken (143052)
  • Serial — Camera serial number
  • Size (KB) — File size in kilobytes
  • Size (MB) — File size in megabytes
  • OriginalName — Keep the original filename

Example Templates

Professional Photographer

Organize by camera and date for easy sorting:

Make _ Model _ Date _ Time
→ NIKON_Z50_20241201_143052.NEF

Family Photo Archive

Simple date-based naming for chronological browsing:

Date _ Time _ Model
→ 20241201_143052_iPhone15Pro.jpg

Backup Organization

Include size to identify large files and potential duplicates:

Date _ Size (MB) _ OriginalName
→ 20241201_4.2MB_DSC_0001.jpg

👀 Preview Before You Commit

Never rename blind. Luxe Organizer shows you exactly what will happen before any files are changed. The preview table displays the original filename → new filename for every file.
4 Review the Preview

After scanning, you'll see a table with:

  • Original Name — Current filename
  • New Name — What it will be renamed to
  • Date — Photo/video date
  • Size — File size
  • Dimensions — Image resolution

Use the Camera Filter dropdown to view only photos from a specific camera.

5 Execute the Rename

Happy with the preview? Click "✓ Rename Files" and confirm.

A progress bar shows real-time status. Luxe Organizer creates a rollback log automatically — just in case you need to undo.

💡 PRO TIP: Use the checkboxes next to each template row (WITH EXIF, NO EXIF, VIDEO) to selectively rename only certain file types. Uncheck a row to skip those files entirely.

â†Šī¸ Rollback — Your Safety Net

Made a mistake? No problem. Every rename operation creates a timestamped log file in your folder:

rename_log_20241201_143052.txt

Click the "↩ Rollback" button, select a log file, and all changes are reversed instantly.

âš ī¸ Important: Rollback only works if you haven't moved or deleted the renamed files. Keep the log files until you're 100% satisfied with your organization.

âŒ¨ī¸ Tips & Tricks

  • Right-click any file in the preview to open it, reveal in Explorer, or copy the path

  • Filter by camera to see only photos from a specific device
  • Size (MB) is recommended as the default — makes file sizes easy to read

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. Luxe Organizer runs 100% locally on your computer. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. We don't collect any data, track usage, or require an internet connection.

What if I don't have EXIF data?

No problem! The "NO EXIF" template row handles screenshots, edited images, and downloads. It uses file creation/modification dates and counters instead of camera metadata.

Can I process RAW files?

Yes! Luxe Organizer supports all major RAW formats: NEF (Nikon), CR2/CR3 (Canon), ARW (Sony), ORF (Olympus), RAF (Fujifilm), DNG (Adobe), and more.

What's the difference between FREE and PRO?

FREE: 100 files per session, basic renaming, preview & rollback.
PRO ($19.99 one-time): Unlimited files, advanced patterns, organize & categorize, duplicate detection, timeline visualization, metadata editing, lifetime updates.

Does Luxe Organizer work on Mac or Linux?

No. Luxe Organizer is built exclusively for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It uses Windows-native components for the best performance and reliability. There are no plans for Mac or Linux versions at this time.
