About

Shared Album Saver

Features
Read full description

Shared Album Saver is a local-first photo utility for checking whether photos and videos from shared albums have already been saved to your personal photo library. It is useful when: - A family, travel, event, or baby album contains many shared memories and you want to make sure important items are saved locally. - You are preparing to leave a shared album, switch devices, or clean up old albums without comparing every item by hand. - You want to save missing shared photos and videos into your personal library while keeping a clear import record. Key features: - Scan shared albums and your personal photo library on device to identify saved, missing, possible duplicate, and failed items. - Save selected missing photos and videos into your personal library, with a local destination album created for each shared album. - Review import logs and summaries so each import, skip, or failure has a clear reason. - Use the app without an account, cloud upload, or third-party analytics. Try it free: Scan every shared album and complete your first 10 syncs free. Each sync can include all selected photos and videos. A single lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited syncing. There is no subscription. Privacy and photo access: Shared Album Saver needs Full Photos Access to compare shared albums with your personal photo library accurately. If you allow only limited photo access, scan results may be incomplete. Important note: Shared album photos and videos may be shared copies and may be lower quality than the original files. Shared Album Saver saves the currently available shared copies. It does not claim to recover deleted photos or restore original-quality backups.
