See it in action
Real screens from the app — scanning, swiping, compressing, and the memories you get back.
The app
Quiet, honest, and built for big libraries
No progress bars that lie, no scary red warnings. Just your photos, grouped and ready to review.
What it does
Cleaning is the start, not the whole story
Keep Photo finds what's safe to let go of — and then helps you actually enjoy what's left.
Similar photos
The same shot saved twice, resized or re-exported. Grouped so you can pick one.
Bursts
Swipe through a burst and keep the best frame — the sharpest, with eyes open first.
Screenshots
Grouped by month, cleared in one go. The biggest silent space hog on any phone.
Blurry shots
Soft frames you closed your eyes through. Measured by sharpness, not guessed.
Compress, don't delete
A 30 MB photo is often 8 MB with no visible difference. Zoom to 100% and compare first.
HEIC → JPG
Convert Apple-format photos once, so any app on Android can open them.
Memories & people
Days worth revisiting, and the faces that show up most — played back like a slideshow.
Collage
Nine photos into one card, three layouts, straight to your story. No watermark.
What it won't do
The category has a trust problem. We're not adding to it.
Things a third-party app on modern Android simply cannot do — so we don't pretend.
No “phone boosting”
RAM is managed by Android. A third-party app that says it cleaned your memory is guessing at best.
No clearing other apps' cache
That isn't possible on modern Android. Apps claiming it are showing you a fake progress bar.
No cloud, no account
There is no sign-up, no sync, no server holding your library. Deleting the app leaves nothing behind.
Private by design
Nothing leaves your phone.
Scanning, face grouping and compression all run on-device. There is no upload step to opt out of, because there is no upload.
- Scans stay localPhotos are read through Android's media APIs and turned into small fingerprints stored on your phone.
- You press the last buttonDeletions go through Android's own confirmation, and wait in the system trash for 30 days.
- Offline by defaultRevoke the photo permission and the app simply loses the feature — nothing breaks, nothing phones home.
Questions
Things people ask before installing
Does it upload my photos anywhere?
No. The app has no server for media, no account and no cloud sync. Everything — scanning, duplicate detection, face grouping, compression — happens on your phone. The only network traffic is ads (free plan) and anonymous product analytics.
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan scans and reviews everything, with a daily limit on deletions. Pro removes that limit and unlocks video compression and HEIC conversion. Ads are shown on the free plan and can be removed with Pro.
What happens if I delete something by mistake?
Every deletion goes through Android's own confirmation dialog, and on Android 11 and up the photos wait in the system trash for 30 days before they're gone. Swipes inside the app can be undone as you review.
Will it work with 40,000 photos?
That's the target. The first scan takes a minute or two; after that the app keeps an index, so the next scan is near-instant. Nothing is re-decoded unless it changed.
Does it clear other apps' cache or “boost” my phone?
No — and neither can any other third-party app on modern Android. We only claim what we actually do: find photos you won't miss, and compress the rest.
Keep the memories. Lose the clutter.
