About

Picture Bin

Features
Read full description

Picture Bin finds the clutter in your photo library and helps you tidy it — entirely on your iPhone. Every scan, every edit, every detection runs on the Apple Neural Engine. No photo ever leaves your device. No accounts, no uploads, no analytics. FOUR PILLARS • Cleaner — Spot blurry shots, near-duplicates, accidental screenshots, over- and under-exposed frames, oversized Live Photos, and sensitive content. Swipe to keep or trash, then mass-delete through Apple's standard confirmation sheet. • Smart Search — Type "beach", "receipt", "passport" — Picture Bin classifies every photo in your library on-device and indexes the text it finds, so you can search by what is actually in the picture. • Quick Edits — Background removal (general subject or person), auto-crop to the most attention-grabbing region, auto-straighten using Apple's horizon detection, auto-color, and subject lift. Save the result back to Photos as a new file — your originals are never touched. • Privacy — Redact emails, phone numbers, IBANs and credit-card patterns from screenshots before you share them. Pixellate faces with one tap. Apple's on-device sensitive-content detector flags problematic photos in your scan results. ZERO CLOUD, BY DESIGN Picture Bin uses only Apple's public Vision, VisionKit, Core Image, Photos and SensitiveContentAnalysis frameworks. There is no SDK in this app that talks to a server. You can run it in airplane mode and every feature still works. LIMITED OR FULL LIBRARY Grant access to your entire library — or pick exactly which photos Picture Bin can analyze, using Apple's Selected Photos picker. You can change your mind any time in iOS Settings. PRO SUBSCRIPTION Cleaner and background scanning are free. Smart Search, Quick Edits and Privacy redaction are part of Picture Bin Pro — monthly or yearly, with a free trial. All processing remains 100% on-device whether you subscribe or not. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID Account Settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
