When your smartphone is used as the main camera, you have to sift photos. Otherwise sooner or later the phone will be swamped with old photos, and there won’t be enough memory for new ones.

Many people solve this problem through the standard gallery or “Google Photos”, but their capabilities are not always enough. There are applications through which you can view images more conveniently and sort them better.

1. Simple Gallery

In this app, photos are displayed in a grid and organized folders. Despite its apparent simplicity, Simple Gallery boasts advanced features.

You can change the color of the interface, turn it off when viewing photos, select the maximum brightness and make the images automatically rotate in full-screen mode.

If you have a lot of unnecessary photos on your phone, hide individual folders. To secure certain content from unauthorized people, passwords protect some files or the whole program.

2. Piktures

Piktures content can be sorted by photos, videos, gifs and location. There is a calendar view that quickly finds pictures taken on a certain day.

The application allows you to convert photos of documents into text: to do this, just open the picture and through a menu marked with three dots, select “Extract text (OCR)”. You can also scan QR codes.

This program works smoothly and has a pleasant design. In the paid version you can view files from cloud services like Dropbox and OneDrive, as well as from hard drives connected by cable.

3. A+ Gallery

A+ Gallery has an uncomplicated appearance, but it boasts one outstanding feature. Like Photos on iOS, it lets you browse your photos by day, month, and year.

There’s an option to mark on a map where a photo was taken and upload cloud storage content. There is even integration with Facebook.

The free version has ads. If you buy the application, you can get rid of it, as well as access to the shopping cart and design themes.

4. F-Stop Gallery

F-Stop Gallery has a “Places” feature that shows all your photos on a map. Pictures are sorted by title, creation date, size and other parameters. By holding your finger on an image, you can rate it.

Adding files and folders to bookmarks and tagging photos makes it easier to find the content you want later. In viewing mode, a long tap on the screen will allow you to quickly go to any item in the album.

Using the app’s basic features is free. Upgrading for three dollars to the Pro version, you can put metadata in your pictures and link cloud accounts, as well as a lot of other features.

5. Focus

If you’re looking for an app with the simplest possible interface possible, Focus is for you. It allows you to quickly tag your photos with the sidebar tag characters.

The program always selects the correct orientation of the image and the appropriate brightness. Recent items are displayed at the top of the home screen.

The Pro version has a dark theme, custom collections and secure file storage. It’s also possible to pin a single photo to the screen so that the person you gave the phone to can’t swipe it.

6. Gallery

The best thing about Gallery is the Moments tab. It brings together photos and videos grouped by date and place, as well as by calendar events. The tab is designed to celebrate the best photos of each event. By tapping the blue button at the bottom of the screen, you can turn on a beautiful slideshow.

Another feature, smart sorting, creates a personalized gallery with the best images. The only drawback of the app is the ads. You will have to pay to turn it off.
