# Files Organizer
Files Organizer is a small, cross-platform GUI application developed in Python. It's designed to help you manage cluttered folders by automatically organizing files into categorized subfolders based on their file types. This tool is especially useful for tidying up commonly cluttered spaces like your downloads folder.
**WARNING !!!**
Do not test it on your important folders and files, it is just a simple FUN project for making desktop GUI apps in python and it is still in the development phase.
## Features
- **Automatic Organization**: Sorts files into subfolders based on file extensions.
- **Custom Destination Folder**: Optionally specify a different destination folder for the organized files.
- **De-Organization**: Revert the organization process, moving files back to their original location.
- **Simple Interface**: Simple and intuitive graphical user interface for ease of use.
- **Support for Various File Types**: Works with documents, audio files, images, videos, software installers, and compressed files. Adding Custom file types, feature will be added soon.
