Your gallery holds photos you love, screenshots you forgot about, and several versions of the same moment. PixSweep helps you find what you’re looking for and decide what’s worth keeping.

Choose which albums to scan and which to scan first. PixSweep analyzes your media on your device, groups similar shots, finds familiar faces, and gathers clutter into smart folders. You decide what stays and what goes.

MEET YOUR CAT CREW

A little company makes sorting photos less of a chore.

• Loaf is your sleepy guide to getting around.
• Peek is the curious kitten who explains the details.
• Dustlord brings a little attitude to cleaning up.

Tap a helper for tips about the screen you’re on. They react as you explore, with animated expressions and their own meows. Helpers, tips and sounds each have their own switch in Settings.

FIND THE PHOTO OR VIDEO YOU REMEMBER

Search by describing a scene, like “mountains by a lake” or “birthday cake”. Video search can also find speech and sounds, helping you track down a clip by what you remember hearing.

Results depend on the models you’ve downloaded and how much of your selected library has been scanned.

SEARCH THE WORDS IN YOUR PHOTOS

Find receipts, letters and screenshots by searching for text inside them. Try a shop name, a word from a letter or an amount on a receipt. The Documents album brings photos with readable text together. Text search is built in and needs no extra model download.

KEEP THE BEST SHOT

Compare similar photos in groups, with a suggested keeper to help you get started. You make the final choice. Send unwanted shots to the trash, put them in an archive, or move them to the vault.

PUT A NAME TO A FAMILIAR FACE

Browse photos grouped by the people in them. Add names if you like. Those names stay on your phone as labels you choose.

SORT THROUGH THE CLUTTER

Smart folders bring together screenshots, memes, forwards, blurry photos and other low-quality shots. Drag across the grid to select several photos, or pinch to adjust thumbnail size.

SCAN ON YOUR SCHEDULE

Start a scan when you’re ready, or schedule an overnight scan at a time you choose. Set a minimum battery level and choose whether scanning should run only while charging.

Pick your album scan order and see an estimate of how long your first scan will take. You can pause a scan and continue later.

CHOOSE YOUR MODEL DOWNLOADS

Choose optional models for People, photo and video search, and speech and sounds in videos. Pick them before your first scan or manage them later under Settings > On-device models.

TAKE A SECOND LOOK

Photos moved to the trash can be restored before they are permanently deleted. Moving them there does not free storage yet; space is reclaimed when the files are actually deleted. Android asks you to confirm permanent deletion.

KEEP COLLECTIONS TOGETHER

Put a trip, event or other collection into a ZIP archive and restore it later. How much space an archive saves depends on the photos.

KEEP PRIVATE PHOTOS SEPARATE

A PIN-protected vault keeps selected photos out of your main gallery. It hides them; it does not encrypt them.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

Choose a background, pick your accent color, and use light, soft dark or deep dark mode. PixSweep supports multiple languages, including Filipino and right-to-left languages.

MEDIA ANALYSIS STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

There is no account to create, and your photos and videos are not uploaded for analysis.

Some features need a model download and an initial scan. Speed depends on your phone, and battery-saving restrictions can pause background work. Ads, purchases, model downloads and optional diagnostics use the internet.

FREE WITH ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION.

Use PixSweep with ads, or make a one-time purchase to remove them and unlock smart features. Some features can also be unlocked temporarily by watching a rewarded ad.
