If you take tons of photos and store them on your PC, keeping track of all those photos may soon get easier in Windows 11. According to a recent Windows Insiders blog post, Insiders across all channels can now try out a new feature in the Photos app that automatically sorts photos using AI. The feature is only available on Copilot+ PCs.
Auto-Categorization in Photos will sort your photos into “meaningful categories” like receipts, identity documents, screenshots, and notes. The Photos app should be able to properly categorize images regardless of the language of the documents in said images.

If an image is categorized incorrectly, you can manually correct the mistake yourself. As of this writing, Photos can only sort images into the four predefined categories mentioned above. It’s unclear if more categories will come later or if they’ll be customizable somehow.
Auto-Categorization is available in Photos version 2025.11090.25001.0 and later, only on Copilot+ PCs. Microsoft has started rolling out the new version of the app to all Windows Insider channels on Windows 11.
