## What is MediaLean?

Make your photo library lighter without treating your memories like disposable files.

MediaLean analyzes the photos, Live Photos, and videos available on your iPhone, shows which items are worth compressing, and estimates how much storage a smaller copy could save. You stay in control of what is selected and what happens to the originals.

UNDERSTAND YOUR STORAGE

• See analyzed local media size and estimated savings
• Keep iCloud-only items separate until they are downloaded
• Browse photos, videos, and Live Photos by format
• Sort by the amount of storage each item can actually save

SMART BY DEFAULT

• Use modern HEIF and HEVC formats when they are the best fit
• Skip media that is already efficient or cannot be processed safely
• Preserve dimensions by default and explain any quality or compatibility tradeoff
• Choose a compatible JPEG or H.264 workflow in professional controls

BUILT FOR PHOTOS, LIVE PHOTOS, AND VIDEO

• Convert supported RAW, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIF photos
• Keep the still image, motion, sound, and key-photo timing of supported Live Photos together
• Adapt video compression to resolution, frame rate, HDR, source bitrate, and visual complexity

SAFE REPLACEMENT FLOW

• Process media locally on your device
• Create a smaller copy before presenting any delete action
• Read the new asset back from Photos and verify it
• Automatically size each batch to the storage currently available
• Let the system ask for your confirmation before originals are deleted

Deleted originals remain recoverable in Recently Deleted until they are permanently removed. This means available device storage may not increase immediately.

No account, ads, tracking, or photo upload to a developer server.
