PicButler: Photo Cleaner
Clean Up Storage & Duplicates
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
Running out of storage? PicButler reviews your gallery the way you never
have time to. It clears the clutter, keeps your best, and frees up space.
No guessing. No scrolling through hundreds of almost-identical photos.
PicButler scans your entire gallery and turns the chaos into something you
can actually deal with. It works month by month, and every trip or event
it finds becomes a chapter inside its month.
REVIEW YOUR WAY, START ANYWHERE
PicButler automatically detects your events: that weekend away, that night
out, that holiday. Each one becomes a chapter of its month, so you can
finish a chapter whenever you have a few minutes. Would rather deal with
this week instead? That door is open too. Wherever you start, PicButler
walks you through it:
First, it clears the duplicates and near-identical shots for you, keeping
the best one in each group, and telling you why it won. Prefer a different
photo? Tap to keep it. You're always in control.
Then swipe through the rest, keeping only what matters. Want to share?
Pick your favorites and PicButler gets them ready for Instagram in a tap.
Finish a collection and it becomes a keepsake you can revisit, with space
to write down what made the moment matter. Yours to keep, forever.
YOUR YEAR AT A GLANCE
Watch your gallery go from chaos to curated. Every month shows what is
done and what is still waiting, so you always know where you stand. The
years before this one are there too, for whenever you feel like going
back.
A DEDICATED CLEANUP TAB
Find and clear what's eating your storage, all in one place:
• Similar and duplicate photos, free to scan, grouped with a winner picked
for you
• Large videos taking up the most space
• Live Photos you can convert to save space
• Old screenshots you forgot about, free to clear

Keep what matters, then clean up with one tap
WHY PICBUTLER
• PicButler asks for one permission: your photo library. No contacts, no
microphone, no calendar, no location. Other photo cleaners demand those
just to delete a photo. Not us.
• No fake storage warnings. No pressure tactics. No dark patterns.
• Honest pricing. No intrusive ads, ever.
YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS
• Everything happens on your device. Your photos never leave it.
• We don't see your photos. We don't know how many you have.
• No ads inside the app. No tracking across other apps.
And no "Allow tracking?" prompt, because we don't need one.
FAIR PRICING
• Free to scan your gallery, and free to clear your screenshots
• Your first curated album is free, so you can try the whole flow before
you subscribe
• $29.99 a year, billed once. Or $6.99 a month. Cancel anytime, right from
the App Store
• No $9.99/week subscriptions. No fake discounts. No surprise charges.

more My phone had +6,000 photos and was constantly running out of storage. This app found duplicates I didn’t even know I had and it was actually accurate. Intuitive and fast
Developer Response Thanks for the kind words, Alef! Finding those hidden duplicates is exactly what PicButler was built for. Glad it worked well with a big library like yours. Enjoy the extra space! If you ever have suggestions, feel free to reach out at support@picbutler.com.

PicButler, at your service
PicButler finds the trips and events hiding in your library and gathers

time. Clear the duplicates first, swipe through the rest, and every
finished event becomes an album in your Photos. All of it on your device:

photos while it is in the background and picks up where it left off
when you return.

• Your drafts appear in Collection as soon as you come back from a
chapter.
• Fixed: "Cancel" on "Resume curation?" now takes you back instead of

v3.3.1 — A whole new PicButler
PicButler is no longer just a cleaner. It now helps you curate the moments worth keeping — one trip, one event, one month at a time.
What you can do now
• Curate by event — PicButler detects your trips and events automatically and walks you through each one.
• Clean, then keep — clear the duplicates and look-alikes first, then swipe through the rest: right to keep, left to let go, up to spotlight your best.
• Build keepsake albums — every event you finish becomes an album you'll actually revisit, saved right in your Photos.
• Prep for Instagram — mark your best shots as you review and queue them up for a post.
• Watch your year come together — go from a cluttered camera roll to one you're proud of, month by month.
What's New in 3.2.0
• Your collectible cards got a redesign — each curation now ends with a postcard you can sign with your finger.
• Sharper numbers across Cleanup and Collection.
• Bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements.
Everything still happens on your device — no uploads, no tracking. The duplicate cleaner you know is now the first step in something bigger.
