## What it is
PhotoPicker is an Android library providing a WeChat-style photo/image picker with multi-select, camera capture, GIF support, and photo preview. It is officially deprecated and no longer maintained, with Matisse recommended as a replacement.

## Use cases
- pick multiple photos from gallery in an android app
- wechat-style image picker for android
- let users select up to 9 images with camera option
- preview selected photos with delete button
- support gif selection in android photo picker

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using it
- you need a simple, proven image picker on very old Android API levels

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - it is deprecated
- you need ongoing maintenance or modern AndroidX support
- you want an actively maintained alternative like Matisse
