Take it with you. Undo for 30 days.
Export a selection, a collection, a person or a place as a ZIP to Downloads, a folder of your choice or a share target. Deleted media waits 30 days in the trash.
Your photos are files. Export and trash treat them that way.
ZIP export
Export a selection, a collection, your favorites, a person, sensitive media or a place as a ZIP. Choose the destination: a share target, Downloads, or a folder you pick. Exports run in the background with a progress dialog.
Trash
Deleting sends media to Android’s system trash, where it can be restored for 30 days. The trash screen lists everything and offers restore-all.
Backup
Pixel Gallery has no cloud sync, by design. If Android Auto Backup is enabled, app settings, favorites and collections can be included in your Google backup; the encrypted metadata database is excluded. Details on the Privacy first page.
