The Swiss Army knife for your media library.

Organize it, identify it, filter it, weed out the duplicates, compress it.

Parallax is a free, open source toolkit that sits alongside your media player and looks after the files behind it.

The Parallax Files page: a grid of video thumbnails with codec, size and duration under each.

Pick your look

Choose a colour and this page changes with it, including the previews of the app below.

Colour theme

See what is in a folder before you touch it.

Parallax spots the names your files have in common, so one click selects every holiday photo or voice memo. Then move, rename or delete them together.

Read about Organize in the documentation

Turn messy file names into ones your media server understands.

Pick the folder and the show, and every episode drops into its place. Check the new names, then apply.

Read about Identify in the documentation

Stack filters until only the files you mean are left.

Duration, size, resolution, name, date. Join them with AND or OR, and watch the list narrow as you go.

Read about Cleanup in the documentation

Find the copies and keep the best one.

Match on size, length, how it looks or how it sounds. Take a rule away and the groups reshape straight away.

Read about Duplicates in the documentation

See what you would save before you save it.

Slide the quality and the estimated size moves with it, for the whole library or just what you have picked. Files get much smaller with no quality loss you would notice.
