Swipe to delete, keep or favorite

Three gestures, one decision each

Open PrunePic and your library appears one photo or video at a time, full screen. Each card needs one gesture, and the card shows what will happen before you let go.

• Swipe left to delete. The card turns red and a TRASH stamp appears. The photo goes to the PrunePic Trash, where you check it before anything is removed.
• Swipe up to keep. A green KEEP stamp appears and the next photo slides up. PrunePic remembers you kept it, so it will not come back.
• Swipe right to favorite or file. A panel appears: drop the card on Favorite to add it to Favorites in the Photos app, or release to choose one of your albums.

Because PrunePic remembers every decision, you can stop at any time and pick up where you left off. A few minutes a day is enough to work through a library of thousands of photos.

Look closer before you decide

Some photos need a second look. Pinch or double-tap a card to zoom in and check focus, faces or small details. Videos play right in the card.

You choose what each card shows in its corners: the date, the file size, the resolution, the media type, or the length of a video. Photos and videos have separate settings, so you could show file size on videos and the date on photos. Seeing the size on every card makes it obvious which items are worth deleting first.

Why swiping is faster than the Photos app

In the Photos app, cleaning up means tapping Select, picking photos from a grid of thumbnails, then deleting them, and it is easy to lose track of what you already checked. Thumbnails also hide the differences between near-identical shots.

PrunePic shows every photo full screen and asks for one decision at a time. There is no selecting and no scrolling back to find your place. The library gets smaller with each swipe, and the trash counter shows how much space is ready to free.

Fix mistakes in one tap

Swiped the wrong way? Tap Undo in the bottom bar to reverse the last keep, trash or favorite.

And nothing you trash is deleted on the spot. It waits in the PrunePic Trash until you empty it, so you can put anything back.

Pick what to clean first

By default the feed covers your whole library. When you want to focus, cleaning modes narrow it to screenshots, videos, photos taken on this day in past years, or a recent trip.
