Pixelbroom vs Storage Cleaner

Pixelbroom is a fast, private photo cleaner for iPhone. It scans your photo library locally — nothing is uploaded — and surfaces: • Duplicate photos (exact and near-duplicates via on-device perceptual hashing) • Old screenshots that have been quietly filling your library • Blurry shots you forgot to delete • Photo bursts (10 near-identical shots in 2 seconds — pick the keeper) • The 100 biggest videos and Live Photos eating your storage You confirm every delete. iOS shows its own system dialog before anything is removed, so nothing disappears without your tap. PRIVACY-FIRST • 100% on-device. No cloud, no server, no telemetry. • No SDKs, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Sweep only sees photo metadata and downsized thumbnails — never uploads anything anywhere. PRO — one-time, $9.99 Free tier lets you delete up to 20 photos a week so you can try it. Pro removes that limit and unlocks smart suggestions (old screenshots, repeat-bursts across years). One purchase. Yours forever. No subscription. Built for iPhone 12 and newer. iOS 17+.

FreeUp finds the photos and videos you can actually get rid of: byte-identical duplicates, burst runs, near-identical shots of the same moment, screenshots, and the videos eating most of your space. It cleans your photo library, and only your photo library. It cannot delete app caches, "System Data", or another app's files, because iOS does not let any app do that — and anything that says otherwise is not doing what it claims. It also tells you the part every cleaner leaves out: deleting photos moves them to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for 30 days. Nothing is freed until you empty that album yourself. FreeUp takes you there, then measures your free space before and after and reports the real difference. SCANNING AND REVIEWING ARE FREE, AND 5 DELETES A DAY Finding your duplicates, bursts and screenshots is free, and so is reviewing them. The free plan then deletes 5 photos a day. No advert to watch, and nothing held back — the counter sits on the home screen and under the delete button. Pro removes the daily limit. NOTHING IS EVER DELETED FOR YOU Exact duplicates are confirmed byte-for-byte before FreeUp calls them identical, and look-alikes are only ever a suggestion. Each group arrives with the best shot badged and protected and the rest ticked, so a hundred photos take one tap — untick whatever you want to keep. Favourites are never pre-selected. WHAT IT FINDS • Exact duplicates — the same file saved twice, confirmed by reading both copies through • Burst runs — grouped by the camera itself, so there is nothing to second-guess • Screenshots — found by iOS, so the count is exact • Similar photos — the same moment shot twice, compared entirely on your iPhone • Photos saved out of chat apps, listed by where they came from • Large videos — sorted by real size, with compression that keeps the date and place HONEST ABOUT SIZES iOS publishes a size for a video but not for a photo. So FreeUp counts photos exactly, measures video sizes exactly, and measures the bytes of anything you choose right before you confirm. No number here is a guess, and it says when something could not be measured rather than printing a figure it does not have. PHOTOS THAT LIVE IN iCLOUD If "Optimize iPhone Storage" is on, some originals are in iCloud and only a small copy is on the phone. Deleting those frees iCloud storage rather than iPhone storage, and FreeUp says which is which instead of folding them into one total. WHAT THIS APP CANNOT DO • App caches and "System Data" — no app can read or delete another app's files • Emptying Recently Deleted — only you can do that, in Photos • Making your iPhone faster or clearing its memory — this app removes photos, nothing else • Finding every duplicate — a copy whose date was stripped cannot be matched, and the app says so PRIVACY No account, no sign-up. Your photos stay on this iPhone — nothing in your library is uploaded or shared. Two things go out: the App Store subscription check and, if you allow it, which advert brought you here. Never a photo. FREEUP PRO Pro removes the 5-a-day delete limit and adds the work that costs something to do: similar-photo comparison across your whole library, the breakdown of photos saved from chat apps, and video compression with a real before-and-after size. What you sorted stays sorted at the limit. Subscriptions: $7.99 per week with a 7-day free trial, or $29.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in Settings on your device after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.
