PrunePic for iPhone
Clean up your iPhone photos with a swipe
Left to delete. Up to keep. Right to favorite. PrunePic turns a cluttered camera roll into a few minutes of swiping, and nothing is deleted until you say so.
Free on the App Store. Your photos never leave your iPhone.
One photo, one swipe, one decision
PrunePic shows your library full screen, one photo or video at a time. No selecting, no scrolling back to find your place. It remembers every decision, so you can stop whenever you like.
Swipe left to delete
The photo goes to the PrunePic Trash, where you can check it before anything is removed.
Swipe up to keep
It stays in your library and the next photo slides in. Photos you keep never come back.
Swipe right to favorite
Drop your best shots on Favorites, or straight into one of your albums.
What your camera roll is quietly hoarding

is all the free iCloud storage you get. A camera roll fills it with a couple of thousand photos.

You took ten shots to get the one you posted. The other nine are probably still in your library.
30 days
Deleted photos wait in Recently Deleted before they are really gone, and keep using storage until then.

Still there
The boarding pass from two trips ago, the parking spot from last spring, the meme you sent once.
iCloud+
If you pay for more iCloud storage, part of that plan may be holding screenshots you will never open again.
5 min
a day is enough. At a photo every couple of seconds, that is thousands of photos cleared in a month.
Nothing is gone until you are sure
Swiping is fast because no single swipe is final. Everything you trash waits in the PrunePic Trash, and emptying it sends photos to Recently Deleted in the Photos app for 30 more days.
- Review the trash, put one item back or restore everything.
- Undo your last keep, trash or favorite in one tap.
- iOS asks you to confirm before anything leaves your library.

How the free limit works
- Every photo you keep, trash or add to Favorites counts as one decision. The counter at the top of the feed shows how many are left.
- The count starts again at midnight, in your iPhone's time zone.
- Everything you reviewed stays saved when you reach the limit, so you continue where you stopped.
The app shows the price for your country, and any free trial, before you buy. You can cancel at any time in the Settings app.
Frequently asked questions
Does PrunePic delete photos immediately?
No. Photos you swipe left go to the PrunePic Trash first. They are only removed from your library when you empty that trash, and even then they stay in Recently Deleted in the Photos app for 30 days.
Do my photos leave my iPhone?
No. PrunePic works through Apple's Photos framework on your device and does not upload your photos or videos to any server. It even works offline.
Does PrunePic work with iCloud Photos?
Yes. PrunePic works with your Photos library whether it is stored on your iPhone or in iCloud Photos. If iCloud Photos is on, deleting a photo in PrunePic deletes it from iCloud and your other devices too.
Can I undo a swipe?
Yes. Tap Undo to reverse your last decision, swipe back to the previous card, or restore anything from the PrunePic Trash before you empty it.
Which iPhones does PrunePic work on?
PrunePic works on any iPhone running iOS 26 or later.
How much does PrunePic cost?
