Compress & clean
your entire library.
HEVCut shrinks videos and photos by up to 70%, finds duplicates, clears screenshots, splits long videos, and vaults originals you don't want to lose. All on-device.
One app for three storage problems.
- 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.
- 02
Sweep
Duplicates, accidental bursts, blurry shots, screenshots, WhatsApp downloads. Find them in seconds, review what to keep, batch-delete the rest.
- 03
Vault
Stash originals in a private vault before you compress or delete. Restore the full-quality file anytime.

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. AVIF photo output is also supported as an opt-in for extra savings on iOS 16+ and the modern web. 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.
Free up space. Keep your memories.
