Meet PixelSieve - a fast, private way to explore, organise and clean up your photo and video library.
Built for libraries of every size, PixelSieve indexes useful metadata directly on your device. Filter by resolution, file size, date, device, location, RAW, ProRAW, HDR, Dolby Vision, Live Photos, Portrait, Cinematic, Slow-Mo, screenshots and much more.
New in PixelSieve 2.0
- On-device AI Search beta: find supported concepts such as dogs, food, documents, beaches, sunsets and vehicles. Your media and searches never leave your device.
- Smarter SieveDupes: review similar photos, exact copies, screenshots, bursts and potentially poor-quality photos.
- Recommended Keepers: quickly see which item PixelSieve suggests keeping without automatically deleting anything.
- Trip Mode: rediscover travels as private virtual albums with maps, highlights and travel goals.
- Saved SmartSieves: save useful filter combinations and apply them again with one tap.
- Offline-first place search: search cities and local areas using PixelSieve’s built-in GeoNames database.
- SieveScope: understand what occupies your library, view storage trends and work towards cleanup goals.
- Index Health: see whether your library index needs attention and safely repair only what is missing.
- Automatic Index Maintenance: PixelSieve quietly indexes normal Photos library changes while you use the app.
- Persistent duplicate and AI indexes help avoid repeating completed work.
Powerful filtering:
Explore photos and videos by:
- Date, year, range and file size
- Country, city and local area
- Capture device and camera
- Resolution, megapixels and frame rate
- RAW, ProRAW, Live, Portrait, HDR and Panorama
- Cinematic, Slow-Mo, Time-lapse and Screen Recordings
- Codec, transfer characteristics, audio channels and other available metadata
Search by filename, size, date or location, including friendly phrases such as “16th December 2025”.
Clean up with confidence:
Preview media instantly, select multiple items, share or export, add items to albums, compress photos and videos, or delete them safely to Recently Deleted.
Compression reports show the original size, new size and confirmed space saved. PixelSieve never automatically deletes media or creates Photos albums without your approval.
Free and Pro:
PixelSieve Free includes library browsing, core filters, selected cleanup actions, SieveScope storage tools and limited On-device AI Search results.
PixelSieve Pro unlocks advanced SmartSieve filters, unlimited AI Search results, Trip Mode and maps, Saved SmartSieves, unrestricted selection and actions, advanced sorting, additional metadata tools and an ad-free experience.
Private by design:
Photo, video and AI analysis happens on your device. PixelSieve does not upload your media or AI search queries.
Some user-requested actions involving iCloud-only originals may require Apple to retrieve the original file. Textual place search uses the bundled offline database first, with Apple’s place search available as a fallback.
Photos write access is used only for actions you explicitly choose, such as deletion, compression output, album creation or location changes.
