PROJECT IDEAS
1. File Organizer by Type
Description: Create a program that scans a specified directory and organizes files into subfolders
based on their file types (e.g., .pdf, .jpg, .txt).
Programming Language: Python (using os and shutil libraries)
Features:
o Automatically detect file types.
o Create subfolders dynamically for each type.
o Move files into the appropriate folders.
2. Date-Based File Sorter
Description: Build a program that sorts files into folders based on their creation or modification
date (e.g., year/month).
Programming Language: Python, JavaScript
Features:
o Extract metadata to get file dates.
o Create hierarchical folders (e.g., 2025/January).
o Include a user-defined option for date range filtering.
3. File Renaming and Sorting Tool
Description: Develop a tool to rename files with consistent patterns and sort them into folders
based on the new names.
Programming Language: Python, Java
Features:
o Allow users to define naming conventions.
o Automatically detect duplicates and rename them appropriately.
o Sort renamed files into categorized folders.
4. Large Data File Sorter
Description: Design a program to sort large datasets (e.g., .csv, .txt) alphabetically or numerically.
Programming Language: Python (using pandas), C++
Features:
o Handle sorting for files that don't fit into memory (external sorting).
o Allow multiple sorting keys.
o Save the sorted data to a new file.
5. Media Library Organizer
Description: Create a program to organize media files like images, videos, and music into specific
folders based on metadata (e.g., EXIF data, resolution, or duration).
Programming Language: Python (using pillow or mutagen), JavaScript
Features:
o Read and process metadata from files.
o Organize files into folders like "Photos/2025/Vacation" or "Music/Artists/Album."
o Provide a preview of the organization structure before applying changes.
6. Cloud Storage Organizer
Description: Develop a script to organize files stored on cloud platforms like Google Drive or
Dropbox by folder structure.
Programming Language: Python (using APIs like Google Drive API or Dropbox API)
Features:
o Authenticate and access cloud storage.
o Automatically sort and move files into folders.
o Generate a summary report of the changes.
7. Real-Time File Sorting Utility
Description: Implement a utility that monitors a directory for new files and sorts them in real
time as they are added.
Programming Language: Python (using watchdog library)
Features:
o Monitor a folder continuously.
o Detect and process newly added or modified files.
o Sort files based on predefined criteria.
8. Duplicate File Finder and Sorter
Description: Create a program that identifies duplicate files based on content or filename and
sorts them for review or deletion.
Programming Language: Python (using hashlib), C#
Features:
o Compare file contents using hash values.
o Generate a report of duplicates.
o Allow users to merge, delete, or sort duplicates.
9. Tag-Based File Organizer
Description: Build an application to organize files based on user-defined tags or labels.
Programming Language: Python, JavaScript (for UI)
Features:
o Allow users to assign tags to files.
o Create virtual folders or symbolic links based on tags.
o Provide a search feature to locate files by tags.
10. Email Attachment Organizer
Description: Automate sorting of email attachments into folders based on sender, subject, or file
type.
Programming Language: Python (using imaplib or gmail API)
Features:
o Connect to email servers to download attachments.
o Sort attachments into categorized folders.
o Provide options to rename attachments based on email metadata.
