Photo Organizer is a Python script designed to automatically organize your photo collection by their creation dates and store them in a logical structure. It reads the EXIF data of your images to determine the date each photo was taken and organizes the photos into folders based on this date. I use this script to better organize my photos I capture with several cameras.

• Extracts the creation date from the photo's EXIF data.
• Organizes photos into year/month/day folders based on their creation dates.
• Falls back to the file's creation date if EXIF data is not available.
• Logs all actions and errors for easy troubleshooting.

• Python 3.x
• exifread library for reading EXIF data from images.
• shutil and os libraries for file and directory operations.
• datetime library for date and time operations.
• logging library for logging errors and operations.

1. Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.
2. Clone the repository or download the script to your local machine.
3. Install the required Python package:

pip install exifread

1. Edit the source_folder and destination_folder variables in the script to your desired paths.

• source_folder: The directory where your unorganized photos are stored.
• destination_folder: The directory where you want the organized photos to be placed.

2. Run the script using Python:

python photo_organizer.py

• Logging: The script logs its operations and errors in photo_organizer.log. You can change the log file name and logging level at the beginning of the script.

• Ensure that the paths to the source and destination folders are correct and accessible.
• Check the photo_organizer.log file for detailed error messages if the script fails to organize some photos.
