What it does03

One app for three storage problems.

  1. 01

    Shrink

    A 10-minute 4K clip can be over 1 GB. HEVCut re-encodes videos and photos to modern codecs at the same quality, a fraction of the size.

  2. 02

    Sweep

    Duplicates, accidental bursts, blurry shots, screenshots, WhatsApp downloads. Find them in seconds, review what to keep, batch-delete the rest.

  3. 03

    Vault

    Stash originals in a private vault before you compress or delete. Restore the full-quality file anytime.

PrinciplesWhat we won't change
On-device

Compression, scanning, dedup detection, and AI photo analysis all run on your phone. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Reversible

Deletes go through Recently Deleted for 30 days. The Personal Vault keeps originals you can restore anytime.

Private

Works directly against your iCloud Photo Library. The Personal Vault is end-to-end private, so only you can read what's inside.

QuestionsFAQ

Common questions.

How much storage will I actually get back?
Compression alone makes most videos and photos about 70% smaller. A 1 GB video typically becomes ~300 MB. Add duplicate, burst, and clutter cleanup and most users reclaim 10 to 50 GB on their first pass.
Will my compressed media still play everywhere?
Yes. HEVCut outputs HEVC video and HEIC photos, the same modern formats your iPhone already records. They play on every recent iPhone, Mac, Android phone, and Windows machine. Older devices can use a free player like VLC.
Can I undo something I deleted or compressed?
Deletes go to Photos' Recently Deleted album for 30 days. If you stash an original in the Personal Vault before compressing, you can restore the full-quality file anytime. Swipe Cleaner has a one-tap undo as well.
What does HEVCut cost?
Free to download and try. You can compress a handful of videos and photos at no cost to see the savings yourself. HEVCut Pro is a subscription that unlocks unlimited encoding and the full set of cleanup tools (Swipe, Duplicate, Burst, Smart, Live Cleaner, Vault, Splitter).
Does anything leave my phone?
No. Everything runs on-device. The Personal Vault is end-to-end private, so HEVCut never has access to your media.
