GCam Tool

GCam Tool automatically moves photos taken with Google Camera to any folder you want, even memory card. It can prevent flipping of selfies so that the front camera photo is saved just like how you see it in the preview.

It also automatically moves portrait photos taken with Google Camera, to the correct gallery location. Here's how it works:

When you take a portrait photo (with DSLR like blurred background) with Google Camera, it takes the photo in burst mode - one regular photo and one blurred photo. These photos are saved in a new folder (created every time you take a photo) inside your photo gallery.

GCam Tool simply moves the photos you want (regular, portrait or both) to the location you choose and deletes the rest.

✔ Prevent flipping of front camera photos
✔ Choose which photos you want to move
✔ Select custom source and destination folders
✔ Batch move multiple files
✔ Rotate selfies further for Xiaomi phones
✔ Option to delete the sub folder created by Google Camera

Frequently Asked Questions

Prevent front camera flipping is not working
After you take a front camera photo, please check it in a third party gallery app like QuickPic or Piktures. The gallery in Google Camera is sometimes slow to refresh the flipped image. But in reality the image must be flipped correctly.

Why is GCam Tool getting stopped/paused by itself?
Some phones aggressively kill apps in the background in order to save some battery. Please visit www.dontkillmyapp.com to learn how to make sure GCam Tool doesn't get killed by the system.

Photos are not moved even though the options are enabled
This could again be a case of the gallery in Google Camera app not refreshing photos correctly. After you take a selfie, please check it in a third party File manager (Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer) or gallery (QuickPic, Piktures). They must be moved.

Ok I checked with third party gallery and can confirm it is still not moving
Some modded Google Camera apps save portrait photos in DCIM/Camera itself instead of creating a subfolder inside DCIM/Camera. Open Google Camera, find Settings -> Advanced -> Save all portrait mode pictures to same folder and disable it.

I need to save only portrait photo (background blurred bokeh). What setting should I choose?
In Settings, under "Portrait Photos", please enable "Move portrait photos to target folder" while disabling "Move normal photos to target folder". Now only the background blurred photo will moved to target folder while the normal one will be deleted.

What's the deal with Motion Photos?
It is a proprietary format developed by Google where a video is embedded inside a photo. There shouldn't be any issues with moving motion photos to target folder but if you enable "prevent flipping of motion photos", such motion photos will be converted to regular JPEG files and will, as a result, lose the embedded video.

What's the difference between Auto and Manual mode configuration?
To prevent selfie from flipping, GCam Tool attempts to identify from which camera a photo came from. To do that it accesses the camera module and reads parameters of front and back cameras. But certain phones do not provide this data correctly. In such cases, GCam Tool will instead read the parameters from photos which you select in Manual mode.

More issues?
No problem. Please mail me at [email protected]. I love working with my users to fix their issues.

Using this with the Google Camera port for LG G6. Purchased the paid version. It works sometimes but half of the time it just gets stuck trying to move the photos and clear the directories. It's pretty unreliable. Perhaps the photos are getting stuck because the camera is still post processing the photo? Maybe the app needs a configurable wait timer? Log messages to help with debugging? So close to being a great app but can't rate it highly because it's so unreliable.

Upgraded to pro so i could batch move my portrait photos on my Pixel 3. Everytime I try to do the move, the bar for the "analyzing camera folder" moves slightly, then freezes. Eventually I get a system message saying that the app has stopped working. I have done this 10 times already in the past hour. Its very frustrating to pay for a premium feature, only for it to not work. Please help.

S9+ on PIE. I think I'm missing something. When I try to change Target Folder in settings, only Recent and Downloads folder show up and nothing else. All permissions are turned on. Please help. Bought the Pro thinking it'll fix this issue but nope. Edit: user error. I had external drive turned off from disabling all bloat using package disabler pro. app works as promised

Not working with Pixel 3. I have tried using the app several times. Even rebooted my phone before using it. I reinstalled the app & paid for PRO & none of it seems to make it work. It always get stuck at analysing the folder & the app just crashes! Also unable to change with folder that I want to select. It's hard stuck at the default set by the app upon download.

Jag. S. Jul 5, 2019     

Froze my phone, freezes when analyzing camera folder. Even paid for full version since free version doesn't do any copies of the folders. Full version also freezes phone. Emailed app developer, no response. would appreciate my money back. Thanks. Edit: App developer worked with me to resolve issue. Issue resolved. Thank you. A+ great app.

Bri. B. Feb 22, 2019     

Almost all the pictures I'm taking with this app running show they are taken at first (in a preview) but then later on when I go to the gallery they are eirher not there at all or only show up as a black/blank photo that sometimes flashes the actual photo for a split second. Please let me know how I can fix this. As of this moment I cannot recommend an app that tricks you into thinking you're saving precious memories but is actually deleting them :(

Oom. D. Jul 26, 2019     

Used to work great but since the last update, images keep getting deleted. I have narrowed it down to this app as images stay in my gallery when I uninstall it. Love this app but can't use it in its current state. Hope this can be fixed. UPDATE: Rating updated. Developer was quick to reply to the issue and provided excellent support. Top service. Works exactly as desired now.

The app is not doing as intended, I've even paid for the full version with still no luck or reply from the developer. My pixel 4xl stores both the portrait and non portrait copy still. I've read all the instructions here and googled for help. I've emailed the owner of the app for help with no reply. Happy to edit this review if someone would get back to me to help with their app! Very frustrating.

Dan. V. Sep 27, 2018     

Just purchased the Pro... I find this app cery useful. But with the last recent updates, I find that the notification of the app running stays on.. I was able to get this notification off by clicking on it pausing and resuming the app.. Now it only goes away if I click on pause. And I really really find it annoying that it stays on the whole time if the app is running. I decided to purchase the app yo see if maybe by doing so this notification would go away but it won't... Please please fix it! Thanks

Great app for what it does. One suggestion, I would like to have option for a 15 to 30 second delay between taking the picture and the move or flip operation happening. This helps to review the pictures just after one takes them and delete them if not needed.

Mel. B. May 24, 2020     

Only lets me choose the downloads folder as the target folder, doesn't seem to do what I hoped the paid version would, unfortunately. No portrait photos being moved, I just seem to lose them from folders entirely. Seems to work for others so might be just a glitch for me, but feels like wasted money :(

Ear. P. Oct 6, 2018     

I give it 5 stars because it works fine but sometimes prevent flipping does not work especially on portrait mode and sometimes my captured photos were deleted even though I don't delete it. But anyways I hope by the update it will be fix. Nice job to the developers.

Chr. E. Nov 1, 2018     

Works ok for portrait mode but if you have the delete folder option enabled, it deletes all your burst photos before you get a chance to pick one. Needs updating to handle the various camera modes besides portrait. Otherwise it could be pretty useful.

Far. T. Jan 10, 2019     

Bought it to prevent stock app on pixel 3 from mirroring pictures back to normal but it doesn't work and I'm tired of fighting the settings. It's such a simple thing to take a picture, flip it horizontally and save it.

Pan. S. Apr 21, 2020     

I'm mad..2 euros is nothing but thats what you get for paying..nothing. photos dont flip no matter the settigs. Update, i searched the web for answers. Turns out everyone is having trouble with the flip setting. I strongly urge you not to buy the pro version!!!

Ste. W. Sep 6, 2020     

Works some of the time. Note that you will need to avoid "clearing" all your apps or at least remember to restart gcam tool afterwards. Otherwise it's pretty hit and miss and it rarely cleans up the folders leftover from portrait mode in the pro version.

Ant. C. Nov 25, 2019     

Worked really good, got the pro version and can say I am satisfied. However lately, I noticed that when I take selfies with this tool on that they don't get saved, they disappear from gallery like I never took them. Can you fix this pls it's bit frustrating

Jac. B. Jun 15, 2019     

EDIT: Developer got in contact with me and sent me a .apk that fixed the issue. thank you! While the Pro version does move the files onto my desired path, it does not seem to fully delete the originals.

S.. M. M. K. Apr 15, 2019     

After capturing image it moves to the target folder. Then sometimes images get deleted automatically. This app is very much buggy, man! Fix your app please! Besides, the app gets stopped invariably. And takes a lot of CPU usage & charge.

sen. May 2, 2019     

I mean it works, ish, but its buggy, I cant view images from inside the camera app 50% of the time, sometimes they flip, sometimes not, it leaves behind flipped images aswell. (Yes I purchased Pro)

This app worked great with the Pixel 3! I recently upgraded to the 5 and the subfolder clean up seems to have broken. I'm holding out hope that once the phone has been out for a bit, this will change!

mar. d. Nov 5, 2018     

Got the pro version, everything works fine, just need to fix the issue with transferring photos to the target folder. Other than that, everything works fine for now.

Ang. P. B. Apr 6, 2019     

Initially didnt work for some reason, but after scouring through Reddit I found this was the only way to move Gcam photos to my SD card. After reinstalling 3x it works great. 5 stars. Only thing I'd like is for it to delete the internal storage copy, but I'm not sure how much power the developer has over that.

Jim. S. Dec 17, 2018     

Very nice tool to organise photos and get rid of the subfolder created by gcam. Works like a charm on a pocophone using miui 10 with Android 9. Some times may look like it is stuck if you have lots of photos to move.

DMN. U. Feb 9, 2019     

Fantastic! Purchased the pro app. No more auto rotation, no more moving folder to desired location-based rsewand deleting the folder. Thank you so much for good works! All the people who rated 1-2 stars, go screw yourself and learn how this app works.few a

Jac. C. Jan 21, 2020     

Now that the gcam portrait mode does not create folders anymore but still takes burst mode pictures. Can you please add the functionality for the app to delete non portrait pictures. We only need one picture, which is the portrait picture.

Mah. A. May 8, 2019     

It just doesn't work. Bought the paid version for flipping the photo in my pocophone. it flips 180 degree. if i edit the photo after that. it flips again automatically. Just a waste of money.

Che. S. Oct 2, 2018     

Must have app... If you use the Google Camera and take portrait pictures, the camera creates a separate folder for every picture taken which contains the portrait as well as the non portrait picture... This app prevents the same and does what it promises to do...
