Sift - Free Up Photo Storage

Your photo library is full of stuff you forgot about. Sift finds the old, the huge, the useless. Swipe to decide, batch delete, or export. Free to use, pay once for Pro.

Too many photos? Sift helps you find the ones taking up space for no reason. Free to use. Pay once if you want batch actions. Yours forever.

Set a few filters (media type, age, file size) and Sift surfaces the matches in seconds. Old screenshots from 2019. That 4K video you never watched. Burst photos you forgot existed.

Once you've got results, you decide what to do with them.

SWIPE THROUGH (FREE) Full-screen cards, one at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to toss. Take your time. No limits, no paywall.

BATCH MODE (PRO) Select a bunch at once. Delete them all in one tap, or export to an external drive, NAS, or iCloud folder. One-time purchase, no subscription.
