Swipe to tidy your camera roll. Keep private photos, videos and files in a Face ID Vault with free iCloud backup, safe even if you delete the app.
Photo Cleaner helps you tidy your camera roll with quick swipe decisions. Review photos, videos, screenshots, similar shots, and albums, then confirm before anything changes.
A starting point, not an autopilot
Help Me Choose uses on-device Apple Intelligence to recommend an existing review mode from your cleanup goal. Your photos are not sent to the model. It does not search your images or decide what to delete. Requires iOS 26 or later and available Apple Intelligence on a compatible iPhone. Standard cleanup modes work without Apple Intelligence.
Focused cleanup modes
- All Photos: review photos and videos in one flow.
- Videos: give your clips a second look.
- Similar Photos: compare similar shots and choose what to keep.
- Screenshots: review old captures, tickets, and receipts.
- Albums: focus on a collection you choose.
Your private Vault, locked with Face ID
Keep private photos, videos and files away from Apple Photos, in separate Photos, Videos and Files sections. The Vault opens with Face ID (or your passcode) and locks again when you leave the app. Preview, share, organize photos into albums and files into folders, or export back to Apple Photos. After copying from Photos, you choose whether to keep or delete the originals.
Free iCloud backup
Your Vault is backed up to your own iCloud for free, so it survives deleting the app, resetting your iPhone or moving to a new one. Restore it with one tap. It's kept in Photo Cleaner's own area of your iCloud, protected by your Apple Account, and you can turn it off any time.
Review first. Confirm second.
Swipe to keep, mark for deletion, favorite, or archive. Review your decisions before applying changes through Apple's Photos flow. Archive and Vault remain separate features. Photos deletions go to Recently Deleted; storage figures describe media size, not a guarantee of immediately freed device space.
Private by design
No account required. No analytics or tracking. Photo analysis and optional goal recommendations run on-device. Your photos are never uploaded to us; Vault backups go to your own iCloud. Location labels may use Apple's geocoding service.

Just a no frills photo cleaner/sorter app. No data collected, and everything is done on-device, which is a huge deal. There’s unfortunately a bug that causes the app to freeze when clicking the icon with the lock and shield, but otherwise it’s a solid app.
Developer Response
Thanks for the review - ought to be all fixed with the latest update and new features:)
