Everything is in one place, for once
You are already gathering the old PC, the phone and the drives. Bringing the photos together now costs almost nothing extra.
Moving to a new PC
New PC? Bring every photo with you — organised.
Years of photos are spread over an old PC, a phone, a few drives and a cloud folder. Moving is the one time you touch all of them — so move them once, and arrive with one tidy library.
Why now
Moving is the moment to organise
Copy once, not three times
Old backups and phone syncs mean the same photo often exists two or three times. Moving is the time to stop carrying the extras.
A fresh start that stays tidy
Arrive with one library instead of five folders called “Photos”, and new pictures have an obvious place to go.
The move
Four steps from old PC to new
-
Step 1
Copy the old PC
Copy your photo folders to an external drive, over your home network, or through OneDrive. Copy, don’t move — keep the old PC as it is until you’re done.
-
Step 2
Add your phone
Bring the phone’s camera roll across too — by cable, by its cloud backup, or straight to the new PC — so the newest photos come along.
-
Step 3
Check nothing’s missing
Compare file counts and total sizes between the old folders and the copies before you wipe or give away anything.
-
Step 4
Let the app do the sorting
Point firelet.media Gallery at the copies. It gathers them into one library, finds the duplicates and fixes the dates, while the files stay where you put them.
Free tools that help on the way: Duplicate photo finder · Photo date fixer · HEIC to JPG converter
Where the app helps
What firelet.media Gallery does for the move
One library, many places
Add folders from the internal disk, external drives and network shares, and browse them all as one library.
Duplicates and look-alikes
Exact copies from old backups, and similar shots from bursts, grouped so you keep the best and let the rest go.
Dates that make sense
Fix a camera that was an hour out or scans dated the day they were scanned, so everything lands on the right day.
Faces
Name a person once and find every photo of them, across all the folders you just brought together.
Search by what’s in the picture
Type “beach at sunset” or “birthday cake” and find it — the AI runs on your PC, not in someone’s cloud.
Private by design
Nothing from your library is uploaded. Your photos stay on your disks, in your folders.
Start on the new PC
Arrive with one tidy library
Install firelet.media Gallery on the new PC, point it at the copies and let it do the sorting. The 14-day free trial is plenty for a move.
