Gallery: Smart Photo Organizer

Gallery is a photo and video gallery application by Google LLC that organizes, edits, and manages the media stored on your Android device. It is aimed at people who want a simple, fast viewer for their camera roll without a lot of extra weight. The app has been around since 2019 and is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Its popularity is reflected in a large user base and a rating of 4.24 from more than 646,000 ratings. In everyday use it works offline, so browsing your pictures does not depend on a data connection. The latest update, version 1.9.4.930218541 release, arrived on 2026-06-24 and focuses on bug fixes and minor improvements rather than new features. The app requires Android 8.0 or later, and the file size is not available in the information for this page. One of its headline behaviors is nightly automatic sorting. Each night the app groups your photos into categories such as People, Selfies, Nature, Animals, Documents, Videos, and Movies, so you can jump to a section instead of scrolling through everything. Face grouping is noted as not currently available in all countries, which is worth knowing if that is the part you care about most. Editing is kept deliberately light. A one-tap auto-enhance tool brightens and balances a photo, and folder support lets you arrange files however you like. You can also view, copy, and transfer media to and from an SD card, which helps on phones with limited internal storage. Performance is a design goal: the app is built to be small and to use little memory so it does not slow the phone down. The 2026-06-24 release does not add anything visible according to the changelog; it is a maintenance update that fixes bugs and makes small improvements. The app asks for permissions related to photos, media, and files, plus storage, which it needs to read and manage your library. It is rated for Everyone and contains no ads or paid tiers.

What's New · 1.9.4.930218541 release

Version 1.9.4.930218541 release, dated 2026-06-24, includes bug fixes and minor improvements.

This app suits casual users who want a fast, uncluttered gallery for their camera roll, people with limited storage who value a small footprint and SD card support, and anyone who prefers an offline tool with no ads or purchases.

Give the automatic organization a night or two to sort your library, then use the category groups instead of scrolling through the full timeline.

Gallery is a dependable, lightweight choice for everyday photo and video browsing. It will not replace a full-featured editor, but its automatic sorting, offline operation, and low resource use make it a practical pick for most Android users.
