Picmv

Picmv is a Windows application designed to copy photographs from your digital camera to your computer in bulk. It's capable of creating thumbnails, rotating images to the correct position using EXIF information, and renaming files by adding consecutive numbers.

The tool doesn't need to be installed, so you can copy the downloaded files to a custom directory or to a USB flash drive to run Picmv on any PC directly. All main options are organized in a single window, which shows descriptions next to each button to help you understand what it does.

By default, the application is set to automatically recognize the directory with memory cards of your digital camera. However, if the autodetect feature fails or if you have multiple cards available, you can switch to manual setup mode and indicate the exact folders where you wish to copy images from.

It's necessary to point out a destination on your computer where you want to copy or move the pictures to. As far as naming rules are concerned, you can set the tool to automatically sort the batches of files by taking into account the year, month and date when it was taken, along with other details.

To create thumbnails for a photo album, tick this option and set the width and height of each file (in pixels). Also, you can set a different directory than the one used for copying the images, as well as specify different naming conditions. In case files with the same names already exist, then Picmv can proceed to the next task, add a serial number to the new file, or overwrite the old one, depending on your preference.

To change the orientation of the photos based on EXIF, tick the Image Rotation by Orientation Attribute box. For additional settings, click the Options button on the lower-left corner of the window. For example, you can specify the extensions of the files you want to copy while leaving the rest untouched, include videos to move them as well, and set the JPEG quality.

All things considered, Picmv features a set of practical options for helping you quickly copy images and videos from memory cards to your hard drive.
