Photo cleaner app for iPhone

Swipe. Keep. Delete.
Free up GBs in minutes

Clear Storage finds what's quietly filling your iPhone — duplicates, blurry shots, old screenshots, chat media, oversized videos — and cleans it out with a swipe. Right to keep, left to delete. Videos you want to keep get compressed instead of deleted.

Swipe to delete

One gesture, two decisions

Reviewing 1,000 photos stops being a chore when each one takes half a second.

Swiping a photo left in Clear Storage: a red trash overlay marks it for deletion
SWIPE LEFT TO DELETE

Delete without the dread

A left swipe queues the photo for deletion — with undo one tap away and everything recoverable from Recently Deleted for 30 days. Nothing is ever gone by accident.

Swiping a photo right in Clear Storage: a blue bookmark overlay keeps it
SWIPE RIGHT TO KEEP

Keep the ones that matter

A right swipe bookmarks the photo and moves on. Work through a month at a time, or open On This Day to revisit the same date across every year — and keep only the shots you actually love.

More than a swipe

Three tools for the storage problems a swipe can't solve on its own.

Smart Cleanup screen: 24.85 GB of space to clean, 86% screenshots, with a Review All button and category cards

Smart Cleanup: one tap, every category

One scan checks eight kinds of clutter at once — screenshots, large files, duplicate and similar photos, Live Photos, chat media, screen recordings and short videos — and shows you exactly how much space each one is holding. Review everything in one pass, or open a single category.

Batch video compression: 50 videos, 187.1 MB total, six selected with their sizes shown

Compress the videos you're keeping

Videos are usually the biggest files on any iPhone, and the ones you don't want to lose. Select one or a whole batch, pick Low or Medium quality, and see the new size for every clip before anything changes. Same memory, a fraction of the space.

Save the text, delete the photo

Receipts, whiteboards, event flyers, notes, memes — Text & Documents finds every photo in your library that contains readable text. Extract it on-device, save or share the file, then delete the photo knowing you kept what mattered. Nothing leaves your phone.

How it works

From "Storage Almost Full" to free space in three steps

No account, no setup — scan and swipe.

Scan your library

Clear Storage checks your photos for duplicates, similar shots, screenshots, blurry photos, chat media, Live Photos and oversized videos. Scans are unlimited and free.

Review & swipe

Clean by category in one tap, swipe through month by month, or set a 60-second, 3-minute or 5-minute timer and race it. Undo anytime.

Reclaim your space

Watch the freed-up gigabytes add up in Stats, keep a cleaning streak, and get an alert before storage fills again.
