Photo Purge
Photo Cleaner
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tidy your camera roll one swipe at a time. Quick Review your whole library, or use More Options for Recent, Duplicates, and Folders.
Photo Purge is the fastest way to tidy your camera roll — one swipe at a time.
Screenshots, blurry shots, duplicate selfies, and forgotten videos pile up fast. Scrolling through thousands of items is exhausting. PhotoPurge turns cleanup into a quick, focused ritual: see one photo or video, decide, swipe, move on.
Simple, satisfying, and surprisingly effective — clear months of clutter in a single sit-down.

HOW IT WORKS
• Swipe left to TRASH — sends the item to your BIN (queue)
• Swipe right to KEEP it
• Tap any item for a full-screen preview — pinch to zoom on photos, playback controls on videos
• Switch between LQ (faster thumbnails) and HQ (higher quality) in the swipe view
• When your BIN fills up (up to 50 items), or whenever you’re ready, open BIN, review what’s queued, and tap Delete
• Nothing is permanently removed until you confirm — KEEP items from BIN, undo your last swipe, or reset counters to restore queued items back to review
• Final deletes go to your iPhone’s Recently Deleted album, where they stay recoverable for the usual grace period
CHOOSE YOUR MODE
• Quick Review — swipe through your entire photo and video library, with an optional date range on large libraries
• More Options — targeted cleanup with three selections:
– Recent — photos and videos from the last 30 days (no date picker)
– Duplicates — find and review similar photos (photos only; optional month range)
– Folders — review one album at a time, with date filtering and drag-and-drop sorting
• Switch between Photos and Videos anytime
• Use Review Batch (grid icon) to browse thumbnails of the current batch and jump ahead or back
KEEP TRACK
• Device purge status — live stats for Reviewed, Kept, Trashed, storage freed, and more
• A live counter for items in your BIN
• Device totals for photos and videos still on your phone
• Optional storage calculation for photo and video file sizes
BUILT-IN SAFETY
• TRASH sends items to the BIN first — not straight to permanent deletion
• Review your BIN before anything is deleted for good
• Undo your last KEEP or TRASH decision from the toolbar
• Clear disclaimer and privacy information up front
• Cleanup runs entirely on your device — your photos and videos are never uploaded or shared for cleaning
FREE TO USE
• 200 swipe actions included — Quick Review and More Options share one lifetime total
• After that limit, optional short videos add +25 swipes each, up to 3 per calendar day (75 bonus swipes max per day; resets at midnight)
• No ads when you open the app — only those optional videos after you reach your free swipe limit
UPGRADE TO PRO
• Unlimited swipes — clean as fast as you can swipe
• No ads, ever
• Monthly, Yearly (best value), or one-time Lifetime
• Subscriptions auto-renew through the App Store; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings
PERMISSIONS
Photo Purge needs access to your photos and videos so you can review and delete them. No cloud uploads for cleanup, no account required, and your media is never sent off your device.
