Less storage anxiety. More room to keep shooting.
HEVCut is an independent app for people whose photo library has outgrown their device. It brings video and photo compression, duplicate review, unwanted-media cleanup, swipe-based decisions, Live Photo conversion, and long-video splitting into one place.
The app has been available on the App Store since November 2024. It is free to download and try; HEVCut Pro unlocks unlimited encoding and the complete cleanup tool set. Current pricing and availability are always shown on the official App Store listing.
Built by Alejandro Pacheco in London.
Alejandro is an independent software developer who has been building software for more than eight years. HEVCut began with a familiar problem: a personal camera roll that was permanently close to full, paired with no interest in paying for more cloud storage before making better use of the space already available.
That origin still shapes the product. HEVCut does not ask users to hand their media library to a cloud compression service. The app performs its core media work locally and gives people tools to inspect, compress, keep, or remove items themselves.
Original photos and videos are processed on the user's device rather than uploaded to a HEVCut compression server. That keeps the core workflow useful without sending a media library to another company.
HEVCut is built around showing people what can be compressed or cleaned before they commit. Deletions use Apple's Photos behavior, including the Recently Deleted recovery window.
The app focuses on practical storage jobs: compressing large files, finding duplicate and unwanted media, cleaning by swiping, and splitting videos for sharing.
