Instantly sort your entire Photos library by file size + quality. Free up iCloud & Mac storage, de-clutter photos. Bonus: Amazing slideshow of your Best-20 photos!
Photos Curation and Cleanup Made Easy! This neat little app sorts your photos and videos by file size and quality—helping you find the gems and ditch the junk.
* Sort your library by file size. If your iCloud or Mac storage is full, this will help you find all the huge videos or photos that are filling it up. Choose what to offload or delete, and save HUGE amounts of space.
* Your library has thousands of photos - great shots lost among mediocre, blurry and boring ones, screenshots, internet downloads and other trash. PhotoSort separates your BEST from the rest - so you can clean up easily and have a lean library.
PhotoSort is easy to use and powerful: Select your system photo library and click Sort. The FREE version reveals some of the largest and the best in your library. You can even see a slideshow of your "All-Time-Top-Twenty" photos. Or click View in the top menu to see 15 of your largest, 15 of your best photos and videos! (Paid version users get much more).
Upgrading to the PAID version unleashes the full power of PhotoSort: Your entire library is sorted into SizeSort and QualitySort albums in the Photos app on Mac:
SIZE-SORT: Sorts photos and videos by file size. If full-sized photos are in iCloud and optimized versions on Mac, the original file sizes in iCloud are used. You can also limit the search e.g. to items larger than 10MB or smaller than 800kb, or largest items totaling, say, 30 GB.
QUALITY-SORT: Ranks photos by aesthetic quality from best to worst. Uses AI and technical factors like composition, focus, lighting, noise, camera angle, etc. – so you can instantly find well-taken photos, those that could be improved with editing, and stuff for you to review and delete.
These albums also sync to your iOS devices via iCloud.
The big benefits for you:
- Discovery and clarity: You'll see your Photos library differently, getting insights Photos doesn’t surface by default
- Native integration: Complements Apple Photos by saving informative albums that feel familiar and unobtrusive
- Privacy-first: All processing is done locally on your Mac, with no cloud services or third-party servers
- Helps you make informed choices: You decide what stays, what's offloaded, and what's discarded.
- Simple, minimalist interface: Just two buttons to click. Delivers immediate value with minimal effort.
GET IT NOW - LIFETIME ACCESS for the Price of a Coffee: Download the free version. If you like it, get the full version. Start saving money on iCloud fees every month, and have a leaner, neater photo collection. Once you're all sorted, don't forget to rate PhotoSort on the App Store!

Lame little app
Mike Bevil
The sort by image quality is a joke…half of the choices are receipts, white board scribbles, blurry photos and GIFs. Waste of money and time.
Developer Response
Receipts, scribbles, blurry photos are clustered at the bottom of QualitySort, all good photos at the top - unless your Options panel is set to show e.g. the bottom 5000 items (for cleanup). Kindly check and email us if you have problems.
Exactly what I needed

I’ve been struggling for so long to find a way to simply sort my entire iCloud library by size. Apple introduced a way a while back but it only shows up when you are close to your limit and really hard to get it to show up again in the iCloud settings. I finally came across this, loaded it up, paid 5 bucks and in less than a minute, my entire library of 59,000 items was sorted by size in an album. I love that it creates an album so I can manage inside Photos directly. Thank you for the app. I can finally make an impact on my library size
Developer Response
Glad you like the app. You probably already know to use Command + Delete to delete photos from SizeSort album as well as the library (Using only Delete will remove them from the album but not from the library). And to free up space, you must also empty the Recently Deleted folder.
Works like a charm

I have been waiting for Apple to add 'sort by file size' ever since Photos replaced iPhoto. This app goes further and even sorts by image quality. Bravo!
Developer Response
Thank you! We will be adding more ways to sort, so if you have any suggestions drop us a line.
FINALLY

Why Apple didn’t just integrate this functionality into the Photos app I will never understand. But thank you! Works great.
Developer Response
Thank you. Glad you found PhotoSort useful.
PhotoSort is even cooler now, with two beautiful slideshows: One showcasing your Best-20 Photos, and another showing 20 of your Top-100 photos!
