Gallery (Offline)

Offline Gallery is a photo and video application for browsing, viewing and editing the media stored on the device. It declares no internet permission, requires no account, and contains no advertising, analytics or tracking.

Photos and albums

• A Photos tab with every photo and video in one grid, newest first by capture date

• An Albums tab of device folders as cover cards with their names and item counts

• Multi-select by long press to share or delete several items, and to rotate JPEG photos

• One system confirmation for a whole selection when deleting on Android 11 and later, including items created by other apps

• A system confirmation before rotating items created by other apps on Android 11 and later

Viewing

• A full-screen viewer titled with the capture date and time when the item records them

• Pinch and double-tap zoom, swiping between items and a filmstrip view

• A repeating photo slideshow with crossfades

• Lossless rotation of JPEG photos

• A details sheet with date taken, dimensions, size and, for JPEG photos, camera make and model, aperture, exposure time, ISO and focal length

• Printing through the Android print framework

Photo editor

• Opens from the viewer, for every image type except GIF and BMP

• Nine preset looks, custom presets saved from the current edits, and eleven frames

• Crop, straighten, rotate, mirror and drawing with five brush styles

• Crop ratios None, Original, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 5:7 and 7:5

• Adjust: autocolor, exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights, vibrance, curves, hue, black and white, negative, edges and posterize

• Undo, redo, an edit history, a before-and-after comparison, and a histogram and EXIF panel

• Export to a separate JPEG at a chosen size and quality

• Edits saved as a new JPEG without GPS location, leaving the original unchanged

Videos

The video player has play and pause, 10-second skips back and forward, a draggable time bar and an offer to resume longer videos where playback stopped. Trim and Mute write a shortened or silent copy as a new MP4 file without re-encoding, leaving the original unchanged.

Other apps and the home screen

• A photo and video picker for other apps, returning one chosen item

• Opens photos and videos handed to it by other apps, and accepts edit, crop and trim requests

• Listed in the system wallpaper chooser, passing the chosen photo to Android's crop-and-set screen

• A resizable home-screen widget showing an album, one photo or a shuffle of all images

Interface and languages

• Light and dark themes that follow the system, with accent colors from the wallpaper on Android 12 and later

• Translations for 51 languages, with partial translations for 20 more

Privacy

Media leaves the app only through an action the user starts: sharing, printing, setting a photo as wallpaper, or opening an item in another app. App data is excluded from cloud backup and device-to-device transfer. The privacy policy and open-source licenses are bundled in the app and open without a connection.

Permissions and their purpose

• Photos and videos: reads the photos and videos on the device so they can be shown, played and edited

• Selected photos and videos: limits access to the items the user chooses, not the whole library

• Storage access on Android 12 and earlier: reads the photos and videos in shared storage

• Storage modification on Android 10 and earlier: saves edited copies and rotates or deletes items in shared storage

This app does not request internet, network state, location, camera, microphone, contacts, accounts, telephone, notification, all-files or advertising identifier access. Privacy policy: Gallery privacy policy.
