Features

Everything in the app, area by area.

Keepix is a photo and file app for Android and iPhone. It shows your phone's photos in a gallery, backs them up at original quality to your own Telegram account, and lets you browse, organise, download and delete everything from one place. Here is each part of the app as it exists today, in version 1.0.

Sign in with Telegram

Phone number, the login code Telegram sends, and the two-step password if one is set. It must be an existing Telegram account; the app cannot create one.

  • A country picker

    218 countries to choose from, then your phone number.

  • Codes the way Telegram sends them

    Through the Telegram app, by SMS or by phone call.

  • Paste and autofill

    The code boxes accept paste and one-tap autofill.

  • Two-step password

    Asked for only if your account has one turned on.

  • Sign in once per phone

    The session persists, and a wrong code is never retried automatically.

Not supported: Creating a new Telegram account, QR sign-in, email sign-in, Apple or Google sign-in. If your number has no Telegram account yet, create one in the official Telegram app, then sign in here.

One timeline

The gallery shows your phone's camera roll and everything already backed up, merged and sorted by when each photo was taken. Looking at the library uploads nothing.

  • Phone and cloud in one list

    Cloud-only photos still appear, with instant blurred thumbnails.

  • A backup badge on every tile

    A cloud with a cross means not backed up, a progress ring means backing up, a plain cloud means backed up. Videos carry a play icon.

  • Month headings and fast scroll

    “September 2026” headings, plus a scroll handle with a Month Year bubble.

  • Sort and filter

    Date taken or Date added, remembered. Filter All photos, Not backed up or Backed up, each with a count.

  • A three-column grid

    Landscape photos take two columns, portraits one, with 2 pt gaps.

  • Multi-select

    Long-press to select, then Delete, Add to album or Back up.

  • Limited photo access

    Works when you share only some photos with the app.

Back up what you choose

One photo or a selection. The original file goes up, never a compressed copy, into a private channel in your own Telegram account.

  • Back up now

    In the viewer, with a live percentage.

  • A selection at once

    Pick several photos and follow one progress notification.

  • Original quality, real file name

    IMG_4021.HEIC stays IMG_4021.HEIC: the exact original file, never a compressed copy.

  • Streamable video

    Backed-up videos stream when you play them from the cloud.

  • Stop and resume

    Stop a backup and pick it up again later.

  • Any phone, same library

    Sign in on another phone and the same photos are there.

  • 2 GB per file, no cap on the total

    4 GB per file with Telegram Premium. The allowance is Telegram's and can change.

Not yet: Automatic backup of new photos. Today every backup starts from your tap; automatic backup is planned.

The photo viewer

Open a photo from its tile and it animates up from the grid. Everything else is a gesture away.

  • Gestures

    Swipe sideways, pull down to close, swipe up for details, tap to hide the controls.

  • Zoom up to 16x

    Pinch or double-tap.

  • Filmstrip

    A filmstrip for moving between photos.

  • Actions

    Share, Add to album, Delete and Back up.

  • Info sheet

    Name, date taken, kind and backup state.

  • Video

    Play, pause, scrub and mute. Cloud-only videos stream.

Memories

A row of tall month cards sits at the top of the gallery, newest first. Tap one to replay the month as a story.

  • Up to 12 photos a month

    Four seconds each, with a segmented progress bar.

  • Tap, hold, pull

    Tap to skip, hold to pause, pull down to close.

  • Rolls into the next month

    Keep watching and the story continues.

Limits: Videos appear as a still frame, and cloud-only photos play at thumbnail quality.

Albums that follow your account

Albums are stored in the same Telegram channel as your backups, so a second phone signed in to your account shows the same albums.

  • Create, rename, delete

    Deleting an album never deletes photos: “The album is removed. Your photos stay in your backup.”

  • Poster cards

    A count, the name, a date range and up to three photos fanned like prints.

  • Add from anywhere

    From a selection, from the viewer or inside the album.

  • Adding backs up

    Adding a photo that is not backed up yet backs it up.

  • Album-only viewing

    Browse one album on its own.

Not yet: Reordering albums and choosing a cover.

A 30-day Recycle Bin

Deleted photos and files wait in the Recycle Bin for 30 days before they're deleted for good.

  • An honest delete dialog

    Choose the phone copy, the backup, or both, with two confirmations.

  • Keep for 30 Days

    On by default. Every item shows a countdown, red for the last three days.

  • Restore keeps albums

    Put an item back and it returns to its albums.

  • Restore All or Empty Recycle Bin

    Or Delete Forever, one item at a time.

  • Kept per phone

    Android 11 and newer use the phone's own trash; iOS keeps its own copy. The bin does not sync between phones.

Files, not just photos

Documents, audio, video, voice notes and more, kept in the same account and reachable from the Search tab.

  • Any file type

    Documents, audio, video, voice notes and more.

  • Filter chips with counts

    Document, Photo, Video, Audio, Animation, Voice note and Video note.

  • Sort and search

    Sort by name, size or date; search by file name.

  • List, grid or photo wall

    Switch between a list and a grid, or open the “All Files” photo wall.

  • Upload and download

    Upload from the file picker; download one file or many.

  • Rename and delete

    Deleted files go to the Recycle Bin.

Transfers you can see

“Everything is backed up” or “351 photos are not backed up yet”: the Transfers screen keeps the count and shows every upload and download while it runs.

  • Counts that add up

    “2,235 uploaded” and “351 not uploaded”, with live progress per transfer.

  • Upload history

    The last 60 transfers, grouped by day. It survives a reinstall.

  • Android keeps going

    A backup continues in the background with a progress notification. Cancel from the notification.

  • iPhone shows a Live Activity

    Progress on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. On iOS below 26 the transfer pauses about 30 seconds after you leave the app and resumes when you return.

Settings

Your account, the look of the app, storage and the Recycle Bin in one place.

  • Account

    Your name, and your username or phone number.

  • Theme

    System, Light or Dark.

  • Storage

    The cache size and Clear Cache, which never deletes a backup.

  • Recycle Bin

    The bin itself and the Keep for 30 Days switch.

  • Storage and network statistics

    What the app stores and transfers, in numbers.

  • Log out

    Signs this phone out. Your backups stay in your Telegram account.
