So you have to select and start again until after 15 attempts they’re gone ### 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. ### 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! ### 4/5 — Work as expected! *2025-03-08* Worked as expected, and separated my RAW+HEIF (even some RAW+JPEGS) into HEIC files which saved me on iCloud space (exported the RAW for safe keeping), I am actually quite pleased to pay for this given how impossible a task this would have been without this app. May be nice to be able to specify what file type the output is, sometimes I prefer to keep the JPEG for example. One issue I encountered, is that you have to process in small chunks, if you do too many the app will crash and leave duplicate images inside your iCloud. I managed to remove the duplicates fairly easily looking at the “Recently Saved”. Also given you have to do smaller batches, the UI of selecting a single image at a time is quite painful, I wouldn’t be against some sort of multiple selection UI improvement (that isn’t SELECT ALL because that would be too many). Thanks for the app though, help me out a lot. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and glad you're digging NO RAW. We have improved the handling of large batches in our latest update (1.8), and, if the app does crash...a button will now appear that lets you delete any RAWs that have already been processed. Hopefully this resolves your issues. Happy shooting! ### 4/5 — It get the job done *2024-10-18* It’s slow when I’m deleting hundreds of raw photos but it does get the job done. One issue I found is that the select all/disselect button have white fonts in bright mode which made these 2 buttons invisible. Only when I turn on dark mode these buttons can be visible. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We have tweaked the interface so the Select All / Deselect buttons are always visible in our latest update. ### 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. ### 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 ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 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? ### 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. ### 5/5 — Just what i needed! *2025-03-18* Works as advertised. Seems limited to deleting about 100 photos at a time. Wish it could do more but this is better than nothing for certain! ### 5/5 — Very useful tool *2024-11-07* Works just as advertised. Great way to save storage space if the RAW file isn't worth keeping because the JPEG is "good enough". However, please give us an option to sort through all photos, maybe in smaller chunks of "all from June" or "all from 2024". Would love to see this. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback! The latest update includes a date picker as you suggested. ### 5/5 — Amazing Support App! *2024-10-08* I was looking for an app that could make my photos smaller after editing. And this allows for just that! Definitely worth the price for the time it saves me with my photos. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says. *2024-10-05* Fast and to the point. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
