Since smartphones have cameras nowadays, everyone’s collection consists of thousands of pictures – from holidays, family events, and parties to screenshots of X posts or interesting online articles.

You’ve collected them all, but what good are they if you’re not at least occasionally looking at them? For screenshots especially, how often do you actually go back to recall or use the information they were originally taken for?

I recently found myself with over three thousands on my phone alone. That’s when I realized how difficult it is to back them up to my PC in a way that keeps them both safe and properly organized.

After trying countless pieces of software, I finally stumbled upon a photo organizer called FastStone Image Viewer. It’s completely free for personal use, extremely lightweight and incredibly easy to use. You simply open the folder where all your pictures are stored, then drag and drop them into subfolders to organize everything exactly the way you want. Make sure your subfolders are renamed properly to easy give away to you what’s inside it.

That’s all!
