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, bursts, blurry photos, screenshots, WhatsApp downloads. Find them in seconds, review what to keep, batch-delete the rest.
- 03
Share
Make a smaller copy of a long clip for sharing. Preview the result and keep the original until you decide what to remove.
One app. Nine ways to clean your library.
All on-device

Compression, scanning, dedup detection, and AI photo analysis all run on your phone. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Deletes go through Recently Deleted for 30 days, and compression keeps the original there too, so nothing is a one-way door.
Works directly against your iCloud Photo Library. Your media never touches a HEVCut server, because there isn't one.
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, and so do originals replaced by a compressed copy, so you have a 30-day window to change your mind. 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 available through subscription and one-time purchase options that unlock unlimited encoding and the full set of cleanup tools (Swipe, Duplicate, Burst, Smart, Live Cleaner). Verify current prices and offer availability in the App Store or the in-app purchase sheet.
- Does anything leave my phone?
- No. Everything runs on-device. HEVCut runs no server that touches your media, so it never has access to it.
Free up space. Keep your memories.
HEVCut runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Everything stays on-device, offline. Try a few compressions before committing to Pro.
