Backup photos, free up storage
Only for Mac
$5.99

Finally free up storage on your iPhone, without an iCloud subscription and without being locked into a photo library.
Photo RollOff transfers your photos and videos from your iPhone as real files directly to your Mac. Into a folder that you choose and control. After that, the app helps free up iPhone storage: every file that has safely arrived on your Mac can be deleted from your iPhone after verification. You also get a detailed archive with statistics for every single import. For full visibility across previous sessions.
No cloud upload. No account. No subscription. No closed photo library. Photo RollOff connects to your iPhone via cable and only imports what you choose.
=== HOW IT WORKS ===
1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a USB cable
2. Choose a destination folder, whether internal drive, external SSD, or NAS
3. Optionally select a filename scheme and automatically rename photos during import
4. Start the import. Photo RollOff transfers every file in its original quality
+ Optional: delete photos from the iPhone after successful transfer
+ Optional: export imported photos in a reduced size, for example for web, email, or archiving
=== YOUR BENEFITS ===
+ Real files instead of a closed photo library. Open them with any app, store them on any drive, and organize them however you want
+ Automatic renaming during import with flexible naming templates, for example capture date plus original filename
+ Real-time display of available storage on the iPhone and destination drive during import, separated by file type
+ Complete import history. Detailed information about every session including statistics and capture locations on the map
+ Built-in cleanup workflow. Verified deletion from the iPhone directly after import. Manual confirmation or automatic deletion after verification
+ Screenshots and screen recordings are categorized separately. Shown separately in statistics and not mixed with regular photos
+ Multiple iPhones, iPads, or iPods can be detected at the same time. Each device is shown separately in the sidebar
=== FORMATS & METADATA ===
+ Supported formats: HEIC, JPEG, PNG, RAW, DNG, ProRAW, MOV, MP4, GIF
+ EXIF, GPS location, original capture time, and camera information are preserved
+ Optional: automatic daily subfolders (e.g. 2026-06-27)
+ Optional: preserve or remove metadata during export
=== WORKFLOW & CONVENIENCE ===
+ File preview (images and videos) directly before import
+ Automatically resize photos after import and export them to any folder
+ Flexible export presets for web, email, archiving, or your own use cases
+ Support for different output formats and quality levels
+ Pause, resume, and cancel imports at any time
+ Your Mac stays awake during imports: no more interruptions caused by power saving
