Download Art Sorter
Art Sorter is a Windows utility that takes a folder of illustrations and turns it into an ordered sequence. It reads what is inside each picture, groups images that share the same character, separates them by scene, and places everything into one continuous line. Loose files with meaningless names become a structured arrangement without any manual tagging.
Art Sorter also collects duplicates in one place, including copies that differ only in resolution. Groups can be renamed in a single action, any number of images can be moved to a folder at once, and selected files can be pinned so their names and positions stay unchanged. New images are inserted next to similar ones, so the existing order is not disturbed.
All processing takes place on the user's own computer. Images and file names are never uploaded, no account is required, and the license is purchased once. The trial covers 300 images, archives are extracted automatically when dropped, and results can be exported to Hydrus, XMP, Eagle or CSV. Every operation can be undone.
