How Do I Put My Photos Into Folders by Month?
A Year/Month folder tree is the most durable way to keep a photo library. Here is how to build one automatically.
A tree like 2019/08-August is readable by a person, sorts correctly everywhere, and needs no software to understand. If you switch computers or photo apps in ten years, the structure still makes sense.
Building it by hand means checking each photo's date and dragging it to the right place. For anything past a few hundred photos that is not realistic, and the dates have to be correct first or the sorting is wrong anyway.
Takeout JSON Metadata Fixer writes the dates in and then builds the folders in the same run. You pick the pattern, including Year only or Year/Month, and it moves everything into place. Free for your first 500 photos.
