### 1/5 — Cannot detect raw image

*2026-05-02*

Cannot detect raw image

### 5/5 — good

*2026-03-04*

It’s a great app. However, when deleting the RAW file of a portrait-orientation photo, the newly created JPG file becomes rotated to landscape orientation. An update is needed so that the photo rotation matches the original by using the metadata.

### 5/5 — Helped me reduce library size

*2026-02-27*

Cleaned up backlog of RAW photos I no longer needed

### 5/5 — Fantastic all

*2026-01-19*

This works great! Been looking for something like this for so long.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t finish the job

*2025-12-29*

It does a good job of what it does but it gets tiring quickly to set it off on a bunch of photos then it decides it will only do 2, 10, maybe 20 and cuts out. So you have to select and start again until after 15 attempts they’re gone

### 5/5 — Erstklassig

*2025-12-28*

Aus unnötigen RAW Dateien kann man schnell und unkompliziert JPEG oder HEIC machen. Es behält die sichtbaren Qualität, das originale Datum und auch die Zuordnung zu Alben bei. Genau was ich gesucht habe. Super kleine App. Vielen Dank

### 4/5 — Does what it says

*2025-09-25*

Well it used to do the job done, convert RAW files to Heif keeping the HDR effect and all the metadata. The problem is that recently (maybe with ios26) the converted Heif file has a strong banding effect (for example a sky during sunset) which really ruins everything. Please fix it

**Developer response:** Hi John, we have fixed the banding issue with our latest release. Thank you for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-07-17, version 1.8.1*

Very pretty app that does what it claims to perfectly, eg delete RAW data from Halide RAW+JPEG pairs. 

Please update the description to mention that it works on those in addition to RAW + HEIC files, it was not clear before I tried the app :)

Haven’t tried the RAW to JPEG automatic conversion, but while I’m sure some appreciate its inclusion, if you don’t intend to edit RAW manually, why are you shooting RAW?

### 3/5 — Gradients destroyed

*2025-06-09, version 1.8.1*

As of this moment it's very harsh on subtle gradients like the haze in the sky - too much compression, so it seems. Please fix the issue! I would love to use this app.

### 5/5 — Crucial tool for saving iCloud storage space

*2025-03-20*

I just used this app to delete over 11,000 JPEG+RAW photo pairs and reclaimed 400GB of space from my iCloud. I ran it on my M2 MacBook Air over night and in the morning all I had to do was confirm the delete in the photos app.

It did freeze and throw up an error on that delete process though. But just quitting the app and restarting, the app picks up where it leaves off and notifies you that it will finish processing.

Overall pretty smooth experience. Would recommend to anyone struggling after transferring JPEG+RAW pairs from a camera SD card and seeing their iCloud usage overfill.
