Description
iCloud and Mac full of photos? Sort your Photos library by size and quality to free up space. Try it free!
Use this nifty little app to sort your Photos library by file size and aesthetic quality.
PhotoSort is easy to use: Select your System Photo Library and click Sort. The app sorts all your photos and videos, and displays some of the largest and the best in your library. You can also get a list of the 30 largest files by clicking View in the top menu.
Upgrading to the paid version also lets you create two albums - SizeSort and QualitySort - in the Photos app on your Mac. If you use iCloud, these albums also appear on all associated iOS devices. Upgrading is well worth it – a nominally priced in-app purchase for lifetime use!
SizeSort album sorts photos and videos in descending order of file size. If full-sized photos are in iCloud and smaller (optimized) versions on your Mac, the actual file sizes in iCloud are used. You can also fine tune the size search e.g. to items larger than 10MB or smaller than 800kb, or largest items totaling, say, 30 GB.
QualitySort album ranks photos in descending order of quality, based on factors such as composition, focus, lighting, noise, camera angle, colors etc. Rankings are based on technical considerations, to help you identify well-taken photos, and those that could be improved with editing. At the bottom of QualitySort album lies stuff like screenshots, scanned receipts and other poor quality stuff that you may review and delete.
Download the free version. If you like what you see, upgrade to the full version. Then, once you're all sorted, don't forget to rate PhotoSort on the App Store!

Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what I needed
I’ve been struggling for so long to find a way to simply sort my entire iCloud library by size. Apple introduced a way a while back but it only shows up when you are close to your limit and really hard to get it to show up again in the iCloud settings. I finally came across this, loaded it up, paid 5 bucks and in less than a minute, my entire library of 59,000 items was sorted by size in an album. I love that it creates an album so I can manage inside Photos directly. Thank you for the app. I can finally make an impact on my library size
Developer Response ,
Glad you like the app. You probably already know to use Command + Delete to delete photos from SizeSort album as well as the library (Using only Delete will remove them from the album but not from the library). And to free up space, you must also empty the Recently Deleted folder.
Works like a charm
I have been waiting for Apple to add 'sort by file size' ever since Photos replaced iPhoto. This app goes further and even sorts by image quality. Bravo!

Very Useful App
Easy to use and very fast. Loved the sort by image quality, in addition to the sorting by file size.
