Videos are the biggest thing in most photo libraries, and Apple's own tools can't fix it β€” editing a video never frees space. Halve does. Halve scans your library, finds the videos worth compressing, and re-encodes them to a smaller HEVC file β€” right in place. Your dates, locations, favorites, and albums stay exactly where they were. β€’ SEE THE SAVINGS FIRST Scan for free and see exactly how many gigabytes your library could shrink by. β€’ PREVIEW BEFORE YOU COMMIT Compare the original and compressed quality side by side. β€’ KEEPS YOUR MEMORIES Date, location, favorites, and album membership are all preserved. We tell you upfront what changes (like Live Photo pairing) β€” no surprises. β€’ 100% ON YOUR DEVICE Nothing is ever uploaded. No account. No ads. No tracking. β€’ HONEST ABOUT STORAGE Compressed originals go to Recently Deleted for 30 days (that's how iOS works) β€” we show you the pending savings and link you straight there. FREE: unlimited scanning + 5 compressions every month. HALVE PRO: unlimited compression. Lifetime (one-time, Family Sharing) or a subscription.
