Three swipes, and your library breathes again. Swipe right to keep, left to delete, tap the heart for the ones worth saving — two minutes a day clears out years of screenshots, bursts and throwaways. ■ One round, three steps Pick a pool and a time range, swipe to decide, then confirm in a grid review. One photo at a time, with a directional stamp following your thumb. ■ Deletes are always two-step A round only marks photos. Tap any photo in the review grid to rescue it; only after you confirm do they reach Recently Deleted, recoverable for 30 days. Three layers of undo. ■ Seven pools × four time ranges Random · Screenshots · Largest first · Videos · Duplicates & bursts · Live Photos · My Favorites, combined freely with All time / Last 30 days / This year / A specific month. The month grid is sorted by remaining size, so the month worth attacking is obvious. ■ Pick from a burst iOS only hands apps the cover of a burst, so deleting the cover deletes the set — we label it plainly and let you expand the set and keep as many as you want. ■ The heart is the system heart Tapping it writes straight to Favorites in Photos, synced both ways with no parallel bookkeeping. Favorites are a pool too, so you can tidy them later. ■ Fully offline No account, no server, no analytics SDK — the app doesn't even request network access. Every scan happens on device and not one photo leaves it. ■ Slim: free up space without deleting anything PNG screenshots, old JPEGs, high-bitrate videos and ProRAW are re-encoded to HEIC / HEVC — they look the same at half the size or less. Work in batches, try 3 first, and review every photo before the originals go to Recently Deleted (restorable for 30 days). New photos keep their original date and albums; the slim log lists every one. ■ Also Step-by-step undo and resume · full-screen viewer (pinch zoom, hold for Live, video player, swipe up for camera data and location) · stats and achievements · light & dark themes · nine languages · a built-in demo library you can try before granting access. The free plan sorts 50 photos a day, forever, and lets you try slimming on 3 photos. PixelSnack Pro unlocks unlimited sorting, every pool, picking from bursts, time-range filters and batch slimming.
