Turbo Photo Sorter

Fast, keyboard-driven photo triage for Windows. Flip through a folder, mark each photo Keep, Discard or Maybe, make quick brightness and contrast fixes, and get your sorted copies in subfolders. Your original files are never changed.

Download

Get TurboPhotoSorter-1.0.0-x64-Portable.exe from the latest release. It is a single file; nothing is installed. Windows SmartScreen may warn because the app is not code-signed: choose More info → Run anyway.

Features

• Three-way sorting with undo (Ctrl+Z)
• Background loading and a thumbnail filmstrip for lag-free navigation
• Non-destructive brightness and contrast, zoom and pan, fullscreen
• EXIF panel (camera, lens, exposure)
• Dark and light themes
• Progress is saved per folder, so you can quit and resume without re-sorting

Output

Sorting copies files into your source folder:

├── Keep/  Discard/  Maybe/                      # copies of the originals
├── Keep_Modified/  Discard_Modified/  Maybe_Modified/   # copies with your adjustments baked in
└── turbo_sorter_log.json                        # which files are done (enables resume)
