A command-line tool that reorganizes a Google Takeout export of Google Photos into a single chronological folder, fixing file modification timestamps from the Takeout JSON metadata. It is written in Dart and distributed as prebuilt executables for major platforms.
Use cases
- migrate photos out of Google Photos to another platform
- flatten messy Google Takeout export into one folder
- fix wrong file timestamps on exported photos
- organize takeout photos chronologically by month
- prepare Google Photos archive for import into Immich or Nextcloud
When to choose
- you downloaded a Google Takeout export and face hundreds of scattered folders with JSON sidecar files
- you want correct last-modified dates so other tools sort your photos properly
- you want a simple interactive CLI with prebuilt binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux
When to avoid
- you need a GUI or fully automated cloud migration service
- you want actively extended features - a more developed fork exists
- your export is not from Google Photos/Takeout
