AlbumLens
Browse and pull down albums
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Browse all your Photos albums in one place. Pull entire albums down from cloud, see what's local vs cloud-only, and export to Files — all on-device.
AlbumLens shows your photo albums the way you actually use them.
Apple's Photos app is photo-first — a giant grid of every shot you've ever taken. AlbumLens is album-first. Every Cloud Photos album you've made (Trips, Family, Wedding 2024, …) appears as a clean card with a 4-photo collage cover, the date range, and the photo count. Tap to dive in. Long-press to pin to the top.
If youriCloud Photos library has grown into hundreds of gigabytes and your iPhone hasn't fully synced, AlbumLens helps you take control:
• See at a glance which photos are still in Cloud (cloud icon) versus already on your device.
• In the Insights tab, get a clear breakdown: total photos, Cloud-only count, and an estimated download size in GB.
• Tap "Download this album" to pull every photo and video from iCloud into your local Photos cache — they then appear instantly in Photos.app too. A Wi-Fi-only toggle keeps it off cellular.
Other features:
• Year-by-year histogram, location map, and media type breakdown — all computed on-device.
• Export an entire album to a Files folder with format conversion (HEIC → JPEG), GPS stripping, and naming policies.
• Home Screen widget for your pinned album.
• Beautiful 3-page onboarding, full Korean / English support, iPad layout.
Privacy by design:
Everything happens on your device through Apple's PhotoKit framework. Your photos, videos, album titles, EXIF data, and locations are NEVER transmitted to AlbumLens or any third party. We collect only anonymous, aggregated usage events through Firebase Analytics and serve ads through Google AdMob (Free tier only).
