About

Pikkaru

Read full description

Pikkaru shows you your largest photos and videos by file size, lets you check each one, and deletes what you no longer need — all without leaving the app. The Photos app can't sort by file size. Pikkaru can, and it filters by file format or media type, including HEIC, JPG and PNG. FIND • Sort your photos and videos by file size, largest first or smallest first • Filter by file format or media type: HEIC, JPG, PNG, GIF, RAW, videos, screenshots, screen recordings, Live Photos, bursts • Sort by capture date, oldest or newest first • Storage dashboard: total file size by format and media type, and how much you have sent to Recently Deleted CHECK • Open a photo to review it and its details before you decide • Play videos stored on this iPhone right inside Pikkaru • See file size, format, dimensions, duration and capture date at a glance TIDY UP • Select items and delete them without switching to Photos • iOS moves deleted items to Recently Deleted, where you can restore them for up to 30 days unless you permanently delete them sooner • Pikkaru is honest about storage: deleting sends items to Recently Deleted, and storage is reclaimed only after it is emptied (or after 30 days). Pikkaru shows you the steps. FREE AND PRO • Free, with no limits: sorting, filtering, the dashboard, photo viewing and previews of videos stored on this iPhone • Free: delete up to 50 photos or videos in total, enough to try the whole flow from sorting to deleting • Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited deletions, plus bulk selection — the top 100 items shown, or everything in the current filter (up to 5,000 items at a time) • Pro is a single purchase. No subscription, no ads. Restore it on your other iPhones signed in with the same Apple Account. • Our promise: we will never remove a feature you paid for. PRIVACY • Pikkaru never uploads your photos or videos. No account, no usage analytics, no advertising SDK. • From your library it reads only the thumbnails and previews it shows you, and the information needed to sort and filter: format, dimensions, duration, capture date and file size. GOOD TO KNOW • With full access, Pikkaru sorts your whole photo library; with limited access, it sorts only the items you select. • With iCloud Photos and Optimize iPhone Storage, sizes shown are the original file sizes, which can differ from the space used on this iPhone. • Video previews play videos stored on this iPhone. Videos kept only in iCloud are listed but not downloaded.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ToonCamera at Free against Pikkaru's $4.99. ToonCamera also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Pikkaru's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads there is nothing between them.
