The third file name is a bit more tricky to decipher at first glance, but is in the format of HHMMYYYYMMDD. YYYY = 4 digit year MM = the 2 digit month number, DD = the 2 digit day HH = 2 digit hour MM = 2 digit minute and finally SS = the 2 digit second. The date and time are backwards to us westerners, using the format of YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS. The first two show the date and then the time, separated with an underscore. If you look closer at the first 3 file names above, you may notice that they contain the date and time information of when the photo is taken. In my photo folders, I have some fairly awkwardly named photos called things along the line of IMG_20190117_223222.jpg, 20181110_221229.jpg, 01112009007.jpg, and even DSCF0651.JPG. Most digital cameras and smart phones name photos with this information. Look at the File Names of the PhotosĬhances are, your files are already named with the date and time they were taken. Finally, you probably took photos of a few people, places, and scenes while you were there, so you would want to know what or who was in each photo. Then, because you may have visited a few locations that day, you may want to use the name of the beach or the town where the beach is located. The most general piece of information would be the date and time – the year, month, day, then hour and minute the photo was taken. You have a photo of your puppy on her first trip to the beach while on holidays in North Queensland. Think of each of these pieces of information in the file name as a group – a way of keeping similar photos together.Į.g. Generally, regardless of how you choose to organise your files for a given purpose, you should follow this rule of thumb: Start with the most general information, and get more specific.
#Photo renamer date taken professional
For business or professional photography, you may need to look up photos for your clients, regardless of when the photos were taken. For personal photos you may want to look at them by the date they were taken, as you know roughly when your last holiday was. Name your files this way for corporate use:ĭepartment_Purpose_ YYYY-MM-DD_HH.MM.SS_Subjects Work out How You Want to Access Your PhotosĪre you an amateur photographer, like most of us, who has a lot of photos of family, children, friends, pets, and holidays etc? Are you taking photos for business use, and need to organise these photos differently? Whatever your purpose and reason, think about how you would like to be able to find those photos.Į.g. Name your files this way for professional use:Ĭustomer_Job_ YYYY-MM-DD_HH.MM.SS_Subjects YYYY-MM-DD_HH.MM.SS_Location/Event_Subjects Name your files this way for personal pictures: You may have even named a few with the people in them, or where it was taken, or when, but the idea of doing this to all of your photos is very daunting. You have finally decided to organise them into some sort of structure, because you are tired of searching through them all each time you want to find a particular photo. So, like most people, you have a heap of photos stored in a folder somewhere on your device / computer.
