Import RAW photos, JPEGs, and videos from SD cards into organized date folders on your Mac
Import RAW photos, JPEGs, and videos from SD cards into organized date folders on your Mac.
Card Ingest automatically reads each file's EXIF capture date, separates different shooting days, creates your preferred folder structure, detects duplicates, and lets you preview every import before copying begins.
Built for photographers who want a faster, safer, and more organized alternative to manually copying files with Finder.
HOW IT WORKS
Insert your SD card
Choose the file types to import (RAW, JPEG, or video)
Select your destination folder
Preview the complete import
Start the import
IMPORT AND ORGANIZE IN ONE STEP
• Organize photos and videos by EXIF capture date
• Automatically create YYYY / MM / DD folders
• Separate files from different shooting days
• Import only the file types you select
• Create custom folder and filename patterns
• Use tokens such as {DATE} and {COUNTER}
• Detect duplicate files using MD5 verification
• Preview every import with Simulation Mode
Your original files always remain untouched.
WHY CARD INGEST?
Finder can copy files, but it cannot automatically organize every photo by capture date, create date-based folders, rename files, detect duplicates, and preview the entire import before copying.
Card Ingest performs all of these steps automatically, giving photographers a faster, safer, and repeatable import workflow.
BUILT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
• Works completely offline
• No account required
• No cloud uploads
• No unnecessary background processes
• Designed specifically for macOS
• Perfect for landscape, wildlife, sports, event, travel, and studio photography
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
Card Ingest includes 3 full imports so you can test the complete workflow using your own SD cards before upgrading to unlimited imports.
Simulation Mode lets you preview every import before copying, helping you verify folder structures, filenames, and duplicate detection with confidence.
