Photo Batch Importer is the fastest way to get photos and videos off an SD, CF, or CFexpress card and into a clean, consistently named library on your computer
Photo Batch Importer is the fastest way to get photos and videos off an SD, CF, or CFexpress card and into a clean, consistently named library on your computer. Insert a card and it scans instantly, reads EXIF information from every photo, copies files into folders you define, and gives each file an unique incremental sequence number - no duplicate, no manual copy & paste, no manual renaming, no data loss, no mess.
WORKS THE MOMENT YOU PLUG IN
• Auto-detects memory cards and card readers as they mount.
• Pre-configured naming templates for a clean folder structure.
• Sort-able, multi-select table with a live preview of destination folder and file names before you commit.
NAMING & ORGANIZING THAT FITS YOUR WORKFLOW
• Build folder and file naming rules from EXIF properties: date, time, camera model, camera serial, lens, ISO, shutter, aperture, focal length, card label, and an auto-incremental sequence counter.
• Separate rules for JPEG, RAW, and video, or send everything to the same folder.
• Shooting JPEG + RAW? Matching pairs get the same sequence number automatically.
• Save named presets and switch between jobs in a click.
COPY YOU CAN TRUST
• Optional SHA-256 verification confirms every copied file is bit-for-bit identical to the card.
• Two-phase backup writes a second copy to another drive, and lets you start working from the primary copy while the second copy is transferring in the background.
• Smart collision handling: skip identical files, auto-rename, or overwrite.
• Free-space check before a single byte is written.
• Optional deletion from card when copy is done and verified.
CARD MANAGEMENT
• Confirm-before-delete keeps you in control; nothing leaves the card until you say so.
• One-click eject, or eject automatically when an import completes.
