A (defunct) tool for merging and organizing exported Google Photos backups. Built with React and Electron!
Home Page: https://alamantus.github.io/GooglePhotosExportOrganizer/
If you like my work, Buy Me A Coffee!
When the start organizing button is pressed, the loading line below instantly loads and presents a check mark. This also doesnt process the images
In step 3 (organize folders with re-insert exif enabled), I get the following error:
Also in the second step, some of the zip files do not seem to extract correctly: The check mark does not appear and there is an exclamation mark next to the progress bar (which is but fully filled). However, it is possible to proceed to the next step.
Curious if you have plans to support merging the JSON data back into the MP4 files.
Hi, I already found another solution here on GitHub (cmd tool), but there was an issue using this app (maybe due to my European region?). The date was fixed, but in the wrong format - the Date and Month were swapped (e.g. 12th of July (12/7) was changed to 7th of December (7/12)). Except for this issue great app!
I'm seeing this error when trying to launch the app on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.
Hi! I'm trying to run the program on ArchLinux but it just closes after a few seconds of opening it, and it spits this error out in the terminal:

Hi @Alamantus while I am unzipping the loading bar is done but the zip files are still loading. I am on macOS and using version 1.1.1. The zip files are 103GB and the output file is 83GB. Please help ASAP. Thanks
I need to research how other image and video formats handle metadata, but for JPEGs, this library can handle modifying Exif data: https://github.com/hMatoba/piexifjs
This should be a toggle option in the organize step to add all possible metadata back to the image & video files since Google Takeout strips it and only includes it in the JSON files it provides.
Hi Robbie! First of all, thanks for your amazing app and the tutorial. <3
I'm trying to unzip my 25 parts from Google Takeout, but 8 of them still loading after a lot of time (never finished).
Is that a known issue or a problem with the zip files?
When I try to "Organize Folders" it loads for a bit then just displays a complete progress bar with an exclamation mark. In the output folders there are just empty folders with no files in them. Is there any way to get error messages? If I output to the same folder it does start doing something but then crashes. I tried it on Windows, it does most of them but then crashes.

Hi, I found out about this tool from Reddit. As many I'm too looking around for a switch from Google Photo.
I've downloaded and extracted the program for Windows, but upon launch I am presented with a blank window as shown in the attachment. If there is anything else I can provide to help debug let me know.
Hi, I'm on Manjaro and I have trouble using your tool. I used it on an exFAT external drive and it failed to create output.
Same results using ext4 as either source or target.
Using an SMB share as source and exFAT as target at least resulted in creating a what seems to be meaningful folder structure. Problem is that those folders are all empty. Still, the SMB process (comig from a raspberry pi as server) took quite long so it looked busy combing thru 90 GB of pictures. What else can I try?
Also, Manjaro / Thunar fails to recognize your executable file as such so I had to ./launch & it from command line leaving me with a blocked terminal. But that's more of a note than an issue so I don't spam you with another ticket about this.
png images (screenshots) didn't merged with their json files, also the jpg that merged successfully lost their gps metadata in the process

Big thanks for the awesome guide and this tool ❤️
My specs:
Windows 10
Yes, my takeout consist of only the Google Photos
GooglePhotosExportOrganizer v1.1.1
Options: ✅ Use Extracted Location ✅ Keep Original Name 🔲 Re-Insert Availalbe EXIF Metadata
Description
When "Re-Insert Available Exif Metadata" option is enabled a lot of files get corrupted (aka become 0 KB in size). I haven't been able to find a specific pattern for which kind of files this happens to but it seems to only affect .jpg files. The app also crashes during the organize process - I never get to see the "Step 4: Tidy Up" page. Is there a log somewhere?
If i run organize without "Re-Insert Available Exif Metadata" it works well.
Received an email from the website form from 'arthur' with this screenshot:
Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'formatted' of undefined
at C:\Users\Eduard\Downloads\GooglePhotosExportOrganizer_windows\Google Photos Export Organizer 1.1.0ads\resources\app.asar\build\organize.js: 124:53
at FSReqCallback.oncomplete (fs.js: 160:23)
The Organize process makes several checks to validate the photoTakenDate in the file's .json metadata. Unfortunately, the app was only built with English in mind, but Google allows exporting in the user's native language, which means that JavaScript's new Date() parsing fails on anything that isn't English, causing the app to skip the file because it couldn't be validated. How charming!
To fix this, I'll need to find a date parsing library that can handle any language. This will go hand-in-hand with issue #13.
While organising the extracted files with "Re-Insert Available Exif Metadata" on the followin error occurs after a while:
Will try without exif data next :-)
