HEVCut is an iPhone app designed to optimize a photo library and free local or iCloud storage without deleting photos.
The app’s developers say it compresses media files, reducing each file’s size by 50–80% while preserving image quality with little loss. Processing takes place on the device, so the files do not need to be sent to external servers for compression.
On-device photo compression
HEVCut can also find duplicate shots and lets users delete photos through a left-or-right swipe interface. Its main feature, however, is optimizing existing files rather than removing them.
The app includes a video editor for trimming long recordings into shorter clips for sharing. The source does not specify which iPhone models support every feature.
HEVCut Pro pricing
A limited version is available for free on the App Store. The full experience, including the best resolution settings, requires HEVCut Pro at $24.99 per year or $39.99 for a lifetime upgrade.
Users can try it through a one-week trial priced at $0.49.
