Album Pro moves the photos and videos that matter out of your crowded camera roll and into folders you make yourself — copied exactly as they are, with no re-encoding and no quality loss. No account. No cloud. No ads. Nothing leaves your device. COPIED EXACTLY AS THEY ARE Most "album" apps quietly re-compress what you import. Album Pro does not. It copies the original file, byte for byte. · Live Photos stay Live — press and hold and they still play · GIFs still animate · HEIC stays HEIC, 4K and slow-motion video keep their original quality · EXIF and the original date are preserved CLEAN OUT YOUR CAMERA ROLL After importing, Album Pro offers to delete the originals from Photos in one tap. They go to Recently Deleted, so you have 30 days to change your mind. FOLDERS THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU Create as many as you need — ID documents, receipts, the kids, work. Rename them, move items between them, sort by date taken or date added. BROWSING Full-screen viewing, pinch to zoom, swipe between items. Videos play in place. Select several at once to move, export, or delete them together. EXPORT BACK ANY TIME Send anything back to your photo library whenever you want. You choose whether exported items carry today's date — so they land at the top of Photos and are easy to find — or keep their original capture date. LOCK IT Turn on a passcode, with Face ID if you prefer. The app is also hidden in the app switcher when you leave it. IPAD Works just as well on iPad, showing more items per row. PRIVACY Album Pro contains no networking code at all. No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Everything works in Airplane Mode. Your items are stored in the app's own private storage on the device. Nothing is uploaded, ever. Please note: because everything is stored on this device only, deleting Album Pro deletes its contents with it. If you delete the originals from Photos, keep a backup you are comfortable with. PRICING The free version gives you 3 folders and 50 items. A single purchase unlocks unlimited folders and unlimited imports — a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Yours for life, future updates included. Everything you have already imported stays unlocked forever. Even without paying you can always view it, move it, delete it, and export it back to Photos.
