Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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. Photo Purge turns cleanup into a quick, focused ritual: see one photo or video, decide, swipe, move on. 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) and HQ (higher quality) in the swipe view
• When your BIN fills up (up to 50 items) or whenever you’re ready, open it, review, and tap Delete
• Nothing is deleted until you confirm — restore queued items or undo your last swipe anytime
• Final deletes go to your iPhone’s Recently Deleted album, recoverable for the usual grace period
CHOOSE YOUR MODE
• Quick Review — swipe through your entire library, with an optional date range on large libraries
• More Options — targeted cleanup:
– Recent — photos and videos from the last 30 days
– 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
REVIEW BATCH
• Tap the grid icon to see thumbnails of the current batch of up to 20 items at once
• Tap any thumbnail for a full-screen preview, or jump ahead or back through your library
• Select several at once — tap, or drag your finger down the left edge of the thumbnails — then send them all to the BIN in one tap
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 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
• Cleanup runs entirely on your device — your photos and videos are never uploaded or shared
