## What it is
QBImagePicker is an Objective-C library that provides a drop-in clone of UIImagePickerController with support for selecting multiple photos and videos. It mimics the built-in iOS picker UI while adding customization options like grid size, selection limits, and selection count display.

## Use cases
- let users pick multiple photos and videos in an iOS app
- replace UIImagePickerController with multi-select support
- build a photo gallery picker with a native iOS look and feel
- limit the maximum number of selected assets in a picker
- customize the photo picker grid and navigation message
- select PHAsset items from the photo library for upload

## When to choose
- you need multi-selection of photos/videos on iOS with a native-feeling UI
- you want a lightweight Objective-C picker that integrates via CocoaPods or Carthage
- you need fine control over selection limits and picker customization

## When to avoid
- you are building a SwiftUI-first app and prefer modern PhotosPicker APIs
- you need cross-platform (Android/web) media picking
- you want a heavily maintained library with recent active development
