+# Auto Sort Downloads
+
+## Overview
+This script automatically organizes files in the `Downloads` folder by sorting them into categorized subfolders based on their file extensions. It helps keep the `Downloads` directory tidy and makes it easier to locate files.
+
+## How It Works
+1. The script scans the `Downloads` folder.
+2. It checks the file extensions and matches them to predefined categories.
+3. If a file belongs to a category, it is moved to the corresponding folder.
+4. If a file does not match any category, it is placed in an `Others` folder.
+5. If a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder, a unique name is generated to prevent overwriting.
+
+## Supported Categories
+- **PDFs** (`.pdf`)
+- **Images** (`.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.bmp`, `.tiff`)
+- **ZIP Files** (`.zip`, `.rar`, `.7z`, `.tar`, `.gz`)
+- **Executables** (`.exe`, `.msi`, `.bat`)
+- **Documents** (`.doc`, `.docx`, `.txt`, `.odt`, `.rtf`)
+- **Videos** (`.mp4`, `.mkv`, `.avi`, `.mov`)
+
+## Installation & Usage
+1. **Ensure Python is installed**
+   - Check by running: `python --version`
+2. **Download or clone the script**
+3. **Run the script**
+   ```sh
+   python auto_sort_downloads.py
+   ```
+
+## Customization
+- Modify the `FILE_TYPES` dictionary in the script to add or change file categories.
+- Change the `downloads_folder` variable if your downloads are stored in a different location.
+
+## Notes
+- The script skips directories and only processes files.
+- It creates folders dynamically if they do not exist.
+- Errors are handled to prevent interruptions.
+
+## License
+This script is free to use and modify.
