How to Import a Folder of Photos Into Pluto Photos
Click Import Folder in the sidebar, choose the folder, and its photos appear in your library. Use Import Files to add individual photos and videos instead. Your files stay where they are.
Included in the free version of Pluto Photos (up to 500 photos).
#1. Click Import Folder or Import Files
The two buttons are at the top of the sidebar. Import Folder adds everything in a folder. Import Files lets you pick individual photos and videos.

#2. Choose the folder
Your computer's folder picker opens. Choose the folder that holds the photos and confirm. The photos in it are added to the library. They aren't copied or moved, and nothing is uploaded.
#3. Find it in the sidebar
The folder is listed under Folders & Files in the sidebar, and its photos join the library. The count next to All at the top goes up (104 in this library after adding a folder of five).

#Tips
- Your files stay in their folder. If you move or rename the folder later, Pluto Photos can no longer find the photos, so organize the folder first.
- The free version holds up to 500 photos. Pro removes the limit.
- If you're importing from Google Photos, use the Takeout importer so dates and locations survive.
- Once the photos are in, sorting, grouping and search help you find things fast.
#Questions
- Does Pluto Photos copy or move my photos when I import?
- No. The photos stay in the folder you chose and Pluto Photos adds them to the library from there.
- How many photos can I import for free?
- The free version holds up to 500 photos. Pro removes the limit.
