Rename and sort a large image batch into folders

A commenter used ChatGPT Agent to rename over 100 images from their contents and file them into subfolders.

Done with ChatGPT Agent· Intermediate· Jul 2025

What they did
They uploaded a zip with more than 100 images and asked ChatGPT Agent to inspect each file, give it a content-based name, and group the pictures into categories. They then tried a second pass with the same set and asked the agent to locate a beach photo of a girl. The work happened as a zip-in, zip-out process, with each request running in a separate VPC.
How it went
They said the organization work came out pretty well, and the follow-up search found the right image. No accuracy percentage, error examples, or turnaround time was provided.
Tips
This kind of job works best when you tell the agent how you want files named and what folder scheme to use. Treat it as a packaged workflow rather than direct access to your local drive.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

I’m uploading a zip with [number] images. Open each file, write a short descriptive filename based on what you can see, and sort the images into subfolders by [theme / subject / date / event]. Return a new zip with the renamed and reorganized files, plus a table showing the original name, new name, and folder for each image. If you are unsure about an image, flag it instead of making a guess. Before you do anything irreversible, pause and ask for my approval.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
