Swype Photo Cleaner Features
Everything Swype Photo Cleaner can do — from the swipe-to-delete interface to Smart Groups, real-time storage tracking, and on-device photo processing.
Download on theApp StoreSwipe-to-Delete Interface
The centerpiece of Swype Photo Cleaner: a fluid, gesture-driven interface that makes reviewing and deleting photos feel natural and fast. No tapping checkboxes. No navigating menus. Just swipe.
- Swipe left — marks the photo for deletion
- Swipe right — keeps the photo
- Tap the undo button — reverses your last decision
- Each swipe takes under a second — most users clean 100+ photos per minute
- Photos display full-screen so you can clearly judge each one
The result: you can review your entire camera roll in a single focused session rather than the slow, tedious tap-by-tap approach in the native Photos app.
Swipe Left to Delete
Swipe Right to Keep
Smart Groups
Smart Groups automatically organize your photos into categories so you can tackle one type of clutter at a time. Instead of scrolling through thousands of mixed photos, focus specifically on screenshots, burst photos, or duplicates.
All Photos
Review your entire library chronologically, one photo at a time.
Screenshots
Your biggest storage culprit. Swipe through every screenshot at speed.
Burst Photos
Rapid-fire sequences. Keep the best shot, delete the rest.
Videos
Videos take the most storage. Quickly decide which ones to keep.
Duplicates
Near-identical photos identified automatically. Keep one, lose the rest.
Live Photos
Review all Live Photos and decide which ones are worth the extra storage.
Real-Time Storage Counter
As you swipe, a live counter shows exactly how much storage you're reclaiming in real time. Watching the number grow is genuinely satisfying — and it keeps you motivated to keep going.
- Updates instantly with every deletion decision
- Shows total storage freed in the current session
- Includes both photos and videos in the count
- Helps you gauge progress toward your storage goal

On-Device Photo Processing
We understand that your photos are private. Swype Photo Cleaner was designed from the ground up so your photos never leave your device.
No Photo Uploads
Your photos are processed on your iPhone and are not uploaded.
Uses Apple's PhotoKit
Swype uses Apple's official PhotoKit API — the same framework the built-in Photos app uses. Your photos are as secure as they are with Apple.
No Account Required
No sign-up, no login, no email. Download and start cleaning immediately.
Usage Data
The app uses third-party analytics and attribution SDKs for usage data; see the App Store privacy label.
30-Day Safety Net
Deleted photos go to iOS Recently Deleted first. You have 30 days to recover anything deleted by mistake.

iCloud Photos Compatible
Swype Photo Cleaner works seamlessly with iCloud Photos enabled or disabled. When iCloud Photos is on, deletions made in Swype sync across all your Apple devices — and free up iCloud storage too.
- Works with Optimize iPhone Storage mode
- Deletions sync to your iPad, Mac, and all other Apple devices
- Helps free up your iCloud storage quota, not just iPhone storage
- No special configuration needed — it just works
Whether you're trying to stay within Apple's free 5 GB iCloud tier or keep your 50 GB plan unclogged, cleaning your photo library with Swype is the most effective approach.
