Features

One program, six ways to clean up the mess.

Each screen solves a real problem for anyone with years of photos scattered across their phone, WhatsApp, and an external drive.

Workspace screen showing Convert, Filter Duplicates, and Rename with a list of 82 files
01 — Workspace

Convert, filter, and rename all in one place

Load the folder and pick the task. No need to open three different programs.

  • Converts HEIC and TIFF to JPG, with the option to move or delete the originals
  • Finds identical or similar duplicates (perceptual hash, adjustable)
  • Batch-renames by date (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS) or by city via GPS
Facial Recognition screen with face detection and grouping
02 — Facial Recognition

Who's in each photo, without tagging one by one

Fotocaos detects faces, groups photos of the same person, and lets you name the whole group at once.

  • Detection and grouping with adjustable sensitivity
  • Name a group and the tag applies to every photo in it
  • Writes the name as a keyword in EXIF and in Windows
Edit Tags screen with title, subject, keywords, and comments fields
03 — Edit Tags

Metadata without needing another program

Title, subject, keywords, and comments right on the file — the same fields Windows Explorer reads.

  • Edit in batch, with the option to apply field by field or all at once
  • Converts GPS into city and neighborhood with one click
  • Writes to EXIF and Windows Keywords at the same time
iPhone import screen with 92 files found on the device
04 — Import from iPhone / iPad

Straight from the device, no iCloud needed

Connect your iPhone by USB, Fotocaos recognizes the device, and shows everything in your camera roll.

  • Filter by date range before importing
  • Detects duplicates that already exist in the destination folder
  • Photos and videos, with a preview before bringing them in

Windows 10/11 · single installer · free, no account needed.

1

Download the installer

Click the button above. The file (FotocaosApp_Instalador.exe) gets saved to your Downloads folder, like any other program.

2

If Windows shows a warning

A blue "Windows protected your PC" screen may appear — that's normal for new, unsigned programs, not a sign of a problem. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

3

Install and open

Follow the wizard (it asks if you use an iPhone/iPad, to install the right driver). The first time you open it, it may take a few extra seconds — that only happens once.
