Aves Gallery

Thibault Deckers

About this app

Aves can handle all sorts of images and videos, including your typical JPEGs and MP4s, but also more exotic things like multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, old AVIs and more!

It scans your media collection to identify motion photos, panoramas (aka photo spheres), 360° videos, as well as GeoTIFF files.

Navigation and search is an important part of Aves. The goal is for users to easily flow from albums to photos to tags to maps, etc.

Aves integrates with Android (from KitKat to Android 14, including Android TV) with features such as app shortcuts and global search handling. It also works as a media viewer and picker.

Ratings and reviews

I'm really impressed with this app's user interface - it's so well-organized. What truly sets it apart for me is the ability to relocate photos without losing their capture date and time. This is incredibly helpful for keeping my photo library organized. It would be really wonderful if you guys could make a file management app-- I'm always losing the time date stamp when moving (audio) files. Thank you

Wanted to rate 5 stars but reduced to 4 stars after an issue with the app preventing some new pictures and videos from showing up in the gallery, forcing me to use the stock gallery app or My Files. It's an otherwise solid gallery app that plays videos and displays pictures great. However, the lack of a built-in simple photo editor is also another drawback but easily overlooked.

Really good app. Only issue is that I used to be able to auto play videos without the app stopping whatever I had playing in the background (YouTube). One day, it just stopped doing that. Now, when I auto play a video, it stops the other app I'm using, and if I press play on that app, the Aves video stops. So I have to choose between one or the other, whereas I used to be able to have both going at the same time. Edit: Fixed. Can now watch videos without interruption. Updated app to 5 stars.
