Tired of exporting the same set three times — one for Instagram, one for prints, one for widescreen?

Crop & Roll Export automates all that in one click.

This lightweight Lightroom Classic plug-in organizes your exported photos automatically by crop ratio. It detects every image’s aspect ratio (3×2, 4×5, 1×1, 9×16, and more) and moves them into neatly labeled subfolders optionally adding a suffix like _3x2 to each filename.

Whether you shoot concerts, portraits, or campaigns: your exports end up structured, clean, and ready to use — without touching Finder or Explorer.

Highlights

  • 🚀 Export once — automatic sorting by crop ratio

  • 🗂️ Creates subfolders (3x2, 4x5, 9x16, etc.) instantly

  • ✏️ Adds optional suffixes to filenames (_3x2, _1x1, …)

Works right inside Lightroom Classic.

No extra software. No scripts. No manual organizing. Just export — and let Crop & Roll do the heavy lifting.

FAQ

  • Crop & Roll Export is a lightweight Lightroom Classic plug-in that automatically organizes your exported photos by crop ratio.

    It detects the aspect ratio of each image (for example 3×2, 4×5, 9×16, or 1×1) and:

    • moves each file into a corresponding subfolder (3x2, 4x5, 9x16, etc.),

    • optionally adds a ratio suffix to the filename (like _3x2).

    No more manual sorting or multiple exports — just one export, and everything falls neatly into place.

    1. Download & unzip the file — you’ll get a folder called

      CropAndRoll.lrplugin

    2. Open Lightroom Classic → File → Plug-in Manager

    3. Click Add, select the CropAndRoll.lrplugin folder, and click Add Plug-in

    4. The plug-in will appear as Crop & Roll Export in the list — make sure it’s enabled ✅

    5. Close the Plug-in Manager and go to File → Export…

    6. Choose Crop & Roll Export as your export service, set your options, and hit Export

    That’s it — the plug-in runs automatically after export.

  • Once installed:

    1. Export your edited photos like you normally would.

    2. Click Export — your photos are now sorted into ratio-based subfolders automatically.

  • Out of the box:

    • 3×2 / 2×3

    • 4×5 / 5×4

    • 9×16 / 16×9

    • 1×1

    • 5×7 / 7×5

    • 4×3 / 3×4

    If a photo doesn’t match any of these within your chosen tolerance, it’s placed in an unmatched folder.

  • The plug-in writes a log file named CropAndRollLogger.log inside Lightroom’s log directory.

    You can use this to review which files were processed and where they were moved.

  • Yes. The plug-in reads the crop settings directly from each photo’s develop data,

    so virtual copies work the same as regular photos.

  • Yes. Simply go to File → Plug-in Manager, select Crop & Roll Export, and click Remove.

    Your exported photos and settings stay intact.

  • Sure! It’s a plain Lua plug-in; advanced users can open it in a text editor and adjust the aspect ratio list or defaults.
