How to Organize by Album for Faster Cleanup

Focus your cleanup on a single event or project by reviewing one album at a time. Help yourself save minutes and moments. Endless scrolling and hours wasted are gone with this new feature.

Why Use Albums for Cleanup?

Albums allow you to focus your cleanup attempts on solely one event, project, or time period at a time. This creates ease when making consistent decisions about which photos to keep.

Stay Focused

Instead of sorting through thousands of random photos, reviewing one album helps you stay on track and finish faster.

Reduce Decision Fatigue

It is easier to compare similar photos and make quick keep/delete decisions when they are grouped together.

Look Back

Develop the ability to quickly look back and reminisce on photos taken in the past. Save time now and in the future!

How to Select an Album in PhotoBase Cleaner

PhotoBase Cleaner makes it simple to focus on specific albums in your library. Follow these steps:

  1. Open PhotoBase Cleaner.
  2. Go to the sidebar and select the Albums tab.
  3. Browse your list and choose the album you’d like to review.
  4. Click Start Review to begin scanning photos from that album only.

Tip: Start with smaller albums like “Weekend Trip” or “Family Dinner” before tackling big ones like “Camera Roll” — it helps you build momentum.

Organize Your Albums Strategically

Organizing albums by theme or event helps you review your photos more intentionally. Here is a simple way to structure your library for better results:

  • By Event: “Graduation”, “Birthday Party”, “Vacation 2025”
  • By Category: “Work Photos”, “Pets”, “Screenshots”
  • By Importance: “Favorites”, “Keep for Reference”, “Delete Soon”

Once albums are structured this way, use PhotoBase Cleaners review tools to quickly identify duplicates, blurry photos, and redundant shots.

Best Practices for Efficient Album Reviews

Review One Album at a Time

Focus on completing one album instead of switching between multiple ones. It keeps you organized and helps you see quick progress.

Use the "Saved" Feature

Mark photos as Saved in PhotoBase Cleaner so you do not review them again in future cleanups.

Leverage Filters and Sorting

Sort by date, size, or duplicates to find problem areas quickly within your albums.

Conclusion

Organizing your photos by album is one of the simplest ways to make cleanup faster and more manageable. Whether you are decluttering a vacation folder or an entire years worth of memories, focusing on smaller, contained groups helps you stay efficient and confident in your choices.

Use PhotoBase Cleaner’s album tools to streamline your review process, remove duplicates, and enjoy a more organized, clutter-free photo library.
