What it is for

When a project depends on pictures being in a precise order — for example the pages of an illustrated book or a sequence of artwork — Visual Image Sequencer (VIS) lets you put them in order visually by dragging thumbnails. It then exports copies with consistent numbered filenames, such as page-001.png, page-002.png and so on.

The copies are byte-for-byte identical to the originals, with their image metadata kept. Existing files in the output folder are never overwritten.

Visual Image Sequencer main window: six picture-book illustrations in a row, numbered #1 to #6, each showing its new filename (page-001.jpg to page-006.jpg) and its original filename, with base filename, start number and padding settings above and the output folder and Export numbered copies button below.
The main window: thumbnails in their final order, each showing its new numbered filename and its original filename. Base filename, start number and padding are set at the top; Export numbered copies is at the bottom.
