File Organizer is a simple Python script that automatically sorts files in a chosen directory into subfolders based on their file extensions. It helps you declutter and manage your folders efficiently.
- Automatically organizes files by type (e.g., images, documents, videos).
- Creates new folders for extensions if they don’t already exist.
- Moves files into their corresponding folders safely.
- Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The script scans all files within a specified folder, checks each file’s extension, and then:
- Creates a new folder named after that extension (if it doesn’t already exist).
- Moves the file into the corresponding extension folder.
Example:
If your folder contains photo.jpg, document.pdf, and script.py, it will automatically create:
jpg/
pdf/
py/
and move each file into its respective folder.
- Python 3.x

os,shutil(no external dependencies)
