Your photo library is quietly eating your storage. Nixly finds what's actually reclaimable and shows you the real gigabytes you can free, with none of the fake "boost" tricks other cleaners use. Nixly is the honest photo cleaner. Photo analysis runs on your device. Your photos never leave your phone. WHAT NIXLY FINDS - Exact duplicates: true byte-for-byte copies - Similar shots: bursts and near-identical photos, kept separate so counts are never inflated - Screenshots: the ones you never look at again - Large videos: the real storage hogs SWIPE TO CLEAN Flick through your camera roll: keep the best, clear the rest. Nixly pre-picks the highest-quality shot in each group so you never lose the good one. SHRINK VIDEOS, KEEP MEMORIES Re-encode storage-hogging videos to a smaller size on-device and reclaim real space. RADICALLY HONEST Deleting photos moves them to your Recently Deleted album for 30 days, so storage isn't truly freed until you empty it. Nixly tells you this clearly and shows you exactly where the space really goes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your photos and videos stay on your device. FREE TO START Scan your whole library and see everything for free, including a set of free deletions.
