Everything you need to make space
Space Maker finds what's taking up room, shows you the exact size, and lets you decide. It works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Clean up
Scan and preview
The scan runs on your device and shows how much space you could free, with a size for each kind of clutter. Open any group to preview it. Nothing changes until you choose.
Exact duplicates and similar photos, kept apart
Exact copies are matched by their contents. Similar photos, like a burst of the same moment, are grouped separately and each group tells you why it matched. The best shot is marked so you keep it.
Screenshots, blurry and dark photos
Find screenshots and photos that came out blurry or too dark, and clear them in small batches you can pause and resume.
Large videos and Live Photos
See which videos take the most room. Turn a Live Photo into a still to keep the picture and drop the motion.
Swipe to clean
Go through photos one at a time. Swipe to keep or remove, with undo and buttons for every swipe.
Compression
Make photos and videos smaller. Compare before and after, and keep the original if you want to.
Protect what matters
Make space without losing anything you care about.
Back up before you delete
Back up photos, videos and files to your private cloud space. A photo leaves your library only after its backup is confirmed. If a backup fails, nothing is removed and you can try again.
Restore on any of your devices
Backups are kept for each device. Get a new phone, sign in, browse a device's backup and restore what you need back to Photos as new copies. Browsing uses small previews, not full downloads.
A private vault
Lock photos, videos and files behind Face ID or a PIN. Set a second PIN that opens a decoy vault. Turn on break-in photos to see who tried the wrong PIN, and an auto-lock timer to close the vault for you.
External Drive Backup
Copy your library to a USB-C drive or SD card, encrypted with your password. It's a one-time add-on, never part of a plan.
Straight talk
- Removed photos go to Recently Deleted, where you can get them back for 30 days.
- System space is shown as "about", because Apple doesn't share the exact size with apps.
- We can't see your iCloud plan or how full it is. After a scan we show how much of your photo library is stored only in iCloud.
- No ads. No weekly plans.
