Deplacer is a Windows desktop application that organizes a messy folder by automatically sorting files into categorized subfolders — with a live preview before anything is moved.
- One-click sorting — select a folder and let Deplacer move files into tidy subfolders
- Preview mode — see exactly what will happen before committing any changes
- Fully customizable categories — add, edit, or disable categories and their file extensions
- Configurable folder prefix — output folders default to
Sifter-Documents,Sifter-Images, etc. (prefix is editable or removable) - Conflict-safe — if a file with the same name already exists in the destination, it is renamed automatically (
file_1.ext,file_2.ext, …) rather than overwritten - Move Folders option — optionally move subdirectories into a
[Folders]subfolder - Recursive mode (advanced) — process files in all nested subfolders
- Persistent settings — configuration is saved to
%APPDATA%\Deplacer\config.jsonand restored on next launch

Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python Deplacer.py
Requires PyInstaller:
pip install pyinstaller customtkinter
build_exe.bat
The finished executable will be at dist\Deplacer.exe — no Python installation required to run it.
- Launch Deplacer.
- Click Browse and select the folder you want to organize.
- (Optional) Enable Move Folders to also relocate subdirectories.
- Click ▶ Preview to review every planned move in the log without touching any files.
- Click ⚡ Run to execute the sort.
- Folder Prefix — text prepended to every destination folder name (default:
Sifter-). Uncheck No prefix to remove it entirely. - Categories table — toggle categories on/off, rename them, change their destination folder, or edit their extension list.
- Add Category — create a new category with a custom name and extensions.
- Reset Defaults — restore all categories and settings to factory defaults.
- Advanced — Recursive Mode — when enabled, Deplacer descends into all subfolders. Use with caution; this cannot be easily undone.
Settings are stored at:
%APPDATA%\Deplacer\config.json
You can edit this file directly if needed; invalid or missing values fall back to defaults on next launch.
