All the art you've saved,
sorted by character and scene.
Thousands of images from Pixiv, Patreon and FANBOX, and every artist folder is still a mess. Drop the folder in and Art Sorter groups each character together, then lines up scenes and variants in order. Duplicates go to one side, and your images never leave your PC.

A real result. 113 mixed-up images, lined up by character and scene in about two and a half minutes on a laptop.
It looks at the character and the scene, not the file name. The same character stays together even across different artists.
Recognition runs on your PC. To match the order, Art Sorter sends its matching service numeric fingerprints, tag words with probabilities that describe each image, a perceptual hash, and each file's size, dimensions and time. The service processes them in memory and does not store them. Image files themselves are never uploaded.
Identical copies and resized versions go to their own folder. You compare them side by side and decide.
Same images. Nothing moved by hand.
Left is the folder as it was saved. Right is the line Art Sorter built from it.
Three steps, mostly waiting.
No tagging, no rules to set up. Drop a folder and come back when it is done.
Drag a folder or a zip, 7z or rar file onto the window. Choose to copy or move. Archives inside are extracted for you.
Images are grouped by character and scene and placed in one line. It pauses, resumes, and notifies you when it finishes.
Drag to reorder. Select a group and type a name once. Pin the ones you never want touched. Everything can be undone.
Built for a collection that keeps growing.
New images keep coming in. You cannot sort everything again each time.
Newly added images slot in next to the ones they resemble. The line you already fixed stays as it is.
Rename as many pictures as you like at the same time, and move any number of them into a folder in one step.
Pinned images keep their names and order, and are left out of sorting.
Tens of thousands of images in one run, with pause and resume and sleep protection.
Every image gets tags automatically. Type tags into the search box with autocomplete, and combine several to find only the images that have all of them. Click a tag to see only the images that have it, or line images up in the order of the tags you pick. Export to Hydrus, XMP (digiKam, XnView MP), Eagle or CSV without touching the original files.
Every step can be undone, and moved files return to their original folders in one click.

Runs on an ordinary PC.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) | |
| Memory | 8 GB | 16 GB (for 30,000+ images in one run) |
| Graphics | Optional. Any DirectX 12 GPU is used automatically | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or better |
| Disk | About 1.5 GB. The installer is 160 MB; the AI models for image analysis (840 MB) download once on first run | SSD |
| Images per run | Up to 150,000 | |
Sort data takes about 2 GB per 100,000 images. Speed depends mostly on the graphics card: integrated graphics work, and an NVIDIA card is much faster on large folders.
What people usually ask first.
Does it change or delete my original files?
In copy mode your originals stay untouched. In move mode files go into the sorted folder, and one click puts them back where they were. Nothing is deleted unless you empty the discard folder yourself.
Does it work with AI-generated images?
Yes. Stable Diffusion, NovelAI, Midjourney and ComfyUI output is grouped by character and scene, and near-identical images are set aside as duplicates.
Is it a photo organizer?
It works best with illustrations, fan art, manga panels and AI art. It groups by the character and scene in the picture, not by faces or GPS. Regular photos can be sorted too, by time or another sort option you pick.
Does it know character names?
It groups the same character together, but you give the names. Name one group and Art Sorter suggests more images that match.
How many images can it handle?
Up to 150,000 images in one run. You can pause and resume, and it lets you know when it's done.
Is there a Mac version?
Windows only for now.
How long does it take?
About 1 to 2 seconds per image on a laptop without a graphics card, so 10,000 images takes roughly 3 to 5 hours. You can pause and resume. A graphics card makes it several times faster.

What is Art Sorter?
Art Sorter is an image organizer for Windows, built for people who collect illustrations, fan art, anime images and AI-generated images. It works as an AI image sorter: it recognizes the character and the scene in each picture, sorts images by character, and lines up thousands of files that would take days to arrange by hand.
It is also a duplicate image finder. Identical copies and resized versions are collected in one place so you can compare and clean them up. If you are looking for bulk image sorting software that handles Stable Diffusion, NovelAI or Midjourney output, or an illustration organizer that keeps everything on your own PC, this is what Art Sorter is for.
Try it on your own folder.
Try up to 300 images for free. To keep using it after that, pay once. No account, no card.
