01 / THE IDEABuilt for the moments you want certainty

Photo housekeeping
should feel safe.

Family albums, phone exports and old drives rarely stay tidy. Names change, dates drift and a file that opens today may fail tomorrow. The risky part is not finding a problem; it is changing the wrong thing while trying to fix it.

Fix My Photo Library is designed around a simple sequence: scan, explain, preview, confirm. Backup checks compare file content, duplicate matches are exact, and quarantine keeps a route back.

02 / FOUR TOOLSOne job at a time. Clear results.

Care for the collection
you already have.

No cloud upload. No mystery cleanup. Just focused checks for the files and folders you choose.

Check Backups

Compare SHA-256 content so renamed files can still match. A scan with unreadable files stays incomplete; missing content is never called verified.

Explore backup checks

Find Exact Duplicates

Group byte-identical copies, choose the keeper yourself, then quarantine selected extras. Restore checks the hash and avoids overwriting conflicts.

Explore duplicate review

Find Broken Photos

Decode supported image formats and flag failures, resource limits and unavailable codecs separately. A diagnosis is not a promise to rebuild pixels.

Understand image checks

Fix Photo Dates

Preview embedded capture dates and explicit offsets. Corrected copies set Windows file timestamps; the original image and its EXIF are left alone.

04 / THE SAFETY MODELUseful is not the same as automatic

Your archive is
not a test folder.

Scans do not rewrite source photos. Copy and quarantine operations verify content before finishing. A partial backup check tells you it is partial instead of giving a reassuring green tick.

Choose the folders
Only the paths you select are scanned.

See the evidence
Names, hashes, codec limits and date offsets stay visible.

No silent duplicate deletion or guessed timezone.

Keep a way back
Quarantine manifests support a hash-checked restore.
