PicMate Collection Manager
Your second photos library
Free
Now with Home Screen widgets!
Save your favorite illustrations, reference images, or memes you want to keep organized away from your device’s Photos library.
Collection
Albums in PicMate can contain both albums and pics, allowing you to organize with even more flexibility.
Sort by name or item count, and choose between grid, list, or carousel layouts to browse your collection exactly the way you want.
Scan and quickly remove duplicated pics from your collection.
Import
Bring images into PicMate from other apps by sharing them into PicMate.
Need to bring in large albums from your Photos library? Use the importer in PicMate to import entire albums at once.
You can also import photos from the Files app.
App Lock
Lock PicMate with Face ID or Touch ID.
Your collection is automatically protected when you leave the app, so only you can access your pics.
Backup & Restore
Export your entire collection as a backup file and restore it on another device.
You can choose to merge the data into your existing collection, or restore it to a specific album.
Don't want to manage a separate library? PicMate also works directly with your Photos library, letting you browse your existing albums and collections without importing anything.
