## What is RAW Keeper?

RAW Keeper cleans up the RAW files filling your storage — and leaves every favorite photo alone. For everyone who shoots with a camera and keeps their pictures in Apple Photos.

WHY RAW KEEPER
• 100% on your iPhone, iPad and Mac — no server, no upload, no account
• No subscription, no running costs — buy once, Family Sharing included
• No data collection, no trackers — your photos stay your photos

AFTER EVERY SHOOT
Mark your favorites, tap “New since …”, done. RAW Keeper finds the new RAW+JPEG pairs since your last search — in seconds instead of hours.

YOU DECIDE WHAT STAYS
Keep the picture and remove the RAW (saves the most; the picture is re-saved once at 90% quality) — or keep the RAW and remove the JPEG (lossless, saves a bit less). Favorites always keep both.

SAFE BY DESIGN
Before/after comparison for every photo. Every change is re-checked immediately beforehand. Originals stay in “Recently Deleted” for 30 days. Shared Library: the replacement lands in your personal library, in the album “RAW Keeper – Converted” (videos: “– Compressed”) — from there it can be moved back to the Shared Library.

ALSO: VIDEOS AND LIVE PHOTOS
Large, non-favorite videos are re-saved efficiently as HEVC — only if the result is truly smaller. RAW Keeper also finds exact duplicates and accidental clips under 2 seconds; one copy of each duplicate always stays. And if you like, turn Live Photos into regular photos: the picture stays with HDR, portrait depth, date, location and albums, only the short motion goes — usually around 2 MB per photo. Both only when you explicitly choose them.

TRY FREE — UNLOCK ONCE
Scanning, savings analysis, previews and single-item tests are free. The full version unlocks unlimited clean-up — on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-03

New in 1.2.0:
• One number, one button: the start screen shows how much space surplus RAW files take up — one tap cleans up.
• Slim down Live Photos: the photo stays — with HDR, portrait depth, date, location and albums — only the short motion goes. Usually around 2 MB per photo.
• Find and delete duplicate videos and accidental clips under 2 seconds — one copy of each duplicate always stays.
• All of this only on explicit request. Favorites and edited items stay untouched.
• “New since …” adds to the list instead of replacing it.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-02

New in 1.1.0:
• "New since …": done in seconds after every shoot.
• On first launch you choose what stays — the picture or the RAW.
• A cleaner clean-up sheet.
• The largest RAW files come first.
• Even safer: an incompletely saved picture is detected and the original stays.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-25

New in 1.0.6:
• Cancelling a new search keeps your previous result.
• The note about delete confirmations now shows the correct number.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-17

New in 1.0.5:
• Large clean-up runs need far fewer delete confirmations: the batch size now adapts to free disk space (250 to 1000 photos per confirmation).

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-12

New in 1.0.4:
• The scan filter now clearly shows when it applies — and a changed filter reminds you to search again.
• Clear "Clean up" buttons on the category rows.
