Squeeze big videos down to size, and swipe away the photos you don't need. VIDEO COMPRESSION Load videos by date or by size, or pick them yourself. Go through them one at a time and choose High, Medium, or Low to compress each one as much as you like. Mark the ones to delete, and add keepers to an album or Favorites. When you're done, everything runs in one go. PHOTO CLEANUP Swipe right to keep, left to delete, or down to add to an album. You can also go through just your screenshots. SHRINK & SHARE Shrink a video or photo right before you send it in a message or email. It also opens from the Share button in Photos. STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE All processing happens on your iPhone. Your photos and videos are never uploaded. iOS asks before any original is deleted, and deleted items stay in Recently Deleted. Files you've already cleaned up won't show up again next time.
