Videos are the biggest thing in most photo libraries, and Apple's own tools can't fix it — 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 — right in place. Your dates, locations, favorites, and albums stay exactly where they were. • SEE THE SAVINGS FIRST Scan for free and see exactly how many gigabytes your library could shrink by. • PREVIEW BEFORE YOU COMMIT Compare the original and compressed quality side by side. • KEEPS YOUR MEMORIES Date, location, favorites, and album membership are all preserved. We tell you upfront what changes (like Live Photo pairing) — no surprises. • 100% ON YOUR DEVICE Nothing is ever uploaded. No account. No ads. No tracking. • HONEST ABOUT STORAGE Compressed originals go to Recently Deleted for 30 days (that's how iOS works) — 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. Halve Pro is available as a monthly or a yearly auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in Settings ▸ your name ▸ Subscriptions. Halve Lifetime is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
