Everything you need to stay organized

Deplacer handles the tedious work so you don't have to.

🔍

Live Preview

See a full list of every planned move before a single file is touched. No surprises.

One-Click Sort

Hit Run and Deplacer instantly moves every file into its correct subfolder.

🎛️

Fully Customizable

Add, rename, reorder, or disable any category. Assign any file extensions you like.

🏷️

Configurable Prefix

Output folders are prefixed with Sifter- by default, keeping them visually grouped — or remove it entirely.

🛡️

Conflict-Safe

Duplicate filenames are never overwritten. Conflicts are renamed to file_1.ext, file_2.ext, and so on.

💾

Persistent Settings

Your categories and preferences are saved automatically and restored on every launch.

Sorted in three simple steps

No setup required. Open Deplacer, pick a folder, and you're done.

1

Choose a Folder

Click Browse and select any folder on your PC — your Desktop, Downloads, or anywhere else.

2

Preview the Plan

Click ▶ Preview to see a detailed log of exactly where every file will go — without moving anything yet.

3

Run the Sort

Click ⚡ Run and Deplacer moves every file into its categorized subfolder in seconds.

15 built-in categories, fully editable

Every category ships ready to use. Add new ones or tweak the extensions in the Settings tab.

🎛️ General Options

  • Folder Prefix — prepend a custom label to all destination folders (default: Sifter-)
  • No Prefix — check the box to sort into plain folder names with no prefix
  • Move Folders — move subdirectories into a dedicated Folders subfolder
  • Add Category — create a brand-new category with a custom name and extension list
  • Reset Defaults — restore all categories and settings to factory defaults

⚠️ Advanced: Recursive Mode

  • ! When enabled, Deplacer descends into every subfolder and sorts files found there too.
  • ! This is a destructive, hard-to-reverse operation on large directory trees.
  • ! Always run a Preview first when using recursive mode.
  • ! Hidden behind an expandable panel — must be deliberately unlocked.
