Turn chaos into order — automatically organize your files with a single command.
This is a Python-based CLI automation tool that scans a directory and organizes files into structured folders based on their type.
Instead of manually sorting files, this tool does it instantly and efficiently.
✔ Automatically detects file types ✔ Creates folders dynamically (Images, Documents, etc.) ✔ Moves files into appropriate directories ✔ Skips system files and folders safely ✔ Clean and scalable logic using Python
The script:
- Scans all files in the current directory
- Identifies file extensions
- Matches them with predefined categories
- Creates folders if they don’t exist
- Moves files into their respective folders
| Category | File Types |
|---|---|
| 📸 Images | .jpg, .png, .jpeg |
| 📄 Documents | .pdf, .txt, .md |
| 🎬 Videos | .mp4 |
| 🎧 Audio | .mp3 |
| 📦 Others | Everything else |

Documents/
file.pdf
notes.txt
Audio/
song.mp3
main.py
python main.py
Make sure your files are in the same directory as the script.
