Photo Gallery: albums, a private PIN vault and a cleaner

A gallery for everything on your phone

Photo Gallery shows the pictures and videos on your Android phone in one place. Switch between all items, photos only, videos only and your albums, in a grid or in a mosaic view. Create albums with a cover picture of your choice, mark favorites and find pictures with search. Videos play in the built-in player, and you can start a slideshow, share, rename or print a file, or set a picture as your wallpaper or contact photo.

If you turn on Show memories in Settings, the app also shows photos and videos from past years – for example what you captured on this day one or more years ago. Memories are made only from the photos and videos stored on your phone.

Hide private photos behind a PIN

Some pictures are nobody else's business: ID documents, receipts, private moments. Move them into the vault and they no longer appear in the normal gallery. The vault opens with your PIN. When you move a file back, it returns to its original folder and date. The free version holds up to 25 files in the vault, Pro has no limit. More about the options on Android in Hide private photos on Android: vault apps explained.

See what fills up your storage

When you first open the app, Your gallery at a glance shows how many screenshots, large videos and similar photos you have. The overview groups screenshots, videos of 50 MB or more, similar photos – near-identical shots and bursts, compared by image content – and stickers and GIFs from WhatsApp, and shows the size of each group. Checking similar photos one by one is free; removing them in one go is part of Pro.

With Quick organize you go through photos in rounds of 20. Move a photo up to keep it or down to put it in the app's trash, and use Undo if you change your mind. Files in the trash can be restored; if you like, the trash empties itself after 30 days. Read Free up storage on Android for a step-by-step plan.

Edit, collage, GIF

The editor crops and rotates and adjusts brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, highlights, shadows, sharpness, vignette and blur. Add filters, frames, drawings and text with outline, shadow or neon effect, or cut out the subject of a photo. Collages combine several photos with grids, borders and backgrounds, and a video or a few photos become a GIF with your choice of speed and size.

Designs and languages

Choose Cream, Light, Dark or Night and an optional tile home screen. The app is available in 19 languages.
