Every day, your phone accumulates pictures from all over. From the personal memories that you're shooting with your phone's camera, to memes from friends on messaging apps, to screenshots to stir up conversations on social media, images are taking up lots of space on your device.

Managing hundreds of these files can be a cumbersome task. Thankfully, it doesn't have to be with the right tools. So, let’s look at some of the best Android apps for photo management and organization.

1. Google Photos

Google Photos is the most popular photo management tool out there and comes preinstalled on most modern Android phones. It has both manual and AI-based features to organize your images. Its powerful AI offers suggestions to manage your gallery. For example, it can automatically create albums, a recap of the memories from a specific year, photo collages, and much more.

Google Photos also makes searching for photos super easy. You can search for objects such as a person, a cat, a document, and more. The best part is that you don’t have to manually assign these tags to your photos—it’s all automated.

With its AI-based face recognition technology, Google Photos creates albums for the people present in your photos. You can let the app know each person's name to easily search for them in the future. Google Photos also has a shared album feature that allows you to exchange images with your friends and family.

The best part is that all these features are available for free. You don't have to get a subscription to organize and manage your photos.
