A scan that tells you the truth
In seconds, GigaBack counts your photos, your screenshots and your duplicates and estimates how many gigabytes you could get back. The full report is free, and stays free.
For iPhone and Android
Take your gigabytes back.
Left to discard, right to keep. Month by month, GigaBack turns clearing out your photo library into something you actually finish. Your photos never leave your phone.

No account. No subscription. Your photos never leave your phone.

Your photos never leave your phone
No image, no thumbnail, not a single piece of photo metadata is ever uploaded. The scan, the fingerprints and the duplicate matching all run on the device itself. What does travel is small and never your pictures: your swipe counter, your totals, the check that you have bought the app, and the banner the free version shows.
-
Nothing goes until you say so
What you discard waits in GigaBack's own trash, and you can put any of it back — one photo or the whole batch. Confirming is deliberate and final, because that is the moment the space actually comes back. On iPhone, iOS parks them in Recently Deleted first, and the app shows you how to empty it.

One price, paid once
GigaBack is a single purchase, made once through the App Store or Google Play. No subscription, no renewal, nothing to cancel. It lifts the daily limit, unlocks the bulk clean-ups and takes the banner away.
Features
Sort by swiping, month by month
One full-screen photo at a time: left discards, right keeps. Pick a month, finish it, enjoy the small celebration at the end, move on to the next one.
Screenshots, gone in one move
Receipts, memes, boarding passes. GigaBack recognises them on its own and lets you clear the entire pile in a single action instead of one tap at a time.
Duplicates and burst shots
Near-identical frames arrive already grouped, with the best one of each group ticked to keep. One tap and the rest go.
The videos eating your storage
Sorted biggest first and playable right there, so you can finally decide about that clip from 2019 you have never watched again.
Freed gigabytes that add up
Your lifetime total sits in big numbers on the home screen, next to a streak that never guilt-trips you: skip a day and it simply starts again.
How it works
-
Scan
You grant photo access once. GigaBack reads the library on the device itself and hands you a report: how many photos, how many screenshots, how much space is recoverable.
-
Swipe
One month at a time. Left discards, right keeps, a tap zooms in, and undo goes back as far as you want it to.
-
Free the space
Review everything you discarded in one grid and confirm once. The whole batch is deleted together, the freed-gigabytes counter goes up, and on iPhone the app walks you through the one step iOS keeps for itself.
Pricing with no small print
The free tier is not a demo. You see every number, every screenshot, every duplicate group. One purchase, made once, is what lets you act on all of it in bulk, and it takes the banner away.

None of this has ever been behind the purchase, and none of it will be.
The number one complaint about apps in this category is deceptive pricing. So here is all of it: one product, bought once, at the price your store shows in your own currency. No subscription, no renewal, no tier above it, no price that changes after the first year. The free version is paid for by a banner at the bottom of the screen, and buying the app removes it everywhere. Either way, your photos stay on your phone.
FAQ
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The scan, the image fingerprints and the comparisons all run on your phone, and no image, thumbnail or photo metadata is ever sent anywhere. What does leave the phone is small and never about your pictures: the check that you have bought the app, your swipe counter and your totals so that clearing the app's data does not wipe them. Nothing measures what you do with the app: it carries no analytics tool and sends no events. The advertising in the free version is given nothing from your library either.
Can I get a photo back if I discard it by mistake?
Yes, right up until you confirm. What you discard lands in GigaBack's own trash, which you can undo one photo at a time or restore entirely, and nothing has left your phone while it sits there. Confirming is the point of no return, and that is exactly what gives you the space back: on Android the batch is deleted for good. On iPhone, iOS then holds it in Recently Deleted for 30 days, so that album is a last resort until you empty it.
What does the free version actually include?
Unlimited scanning and the complete report, 50 swipes a day, sorting by month, the internal trash and the freed-space stats. You see the exact number of screenshots, every duplicate group and every oversized video. It also carries a banner at the bottom of the screen. The purchase lifts the daily limit, unlocks the bulk clean-ups and removes the banner.
Does the free version show advertising?
Yes: one banner at the bottom of the screen, including while you swipe. It never covers a photo, it never takes over the screen between two actions, and it is kept well clear of the keep and discard controls so your thumb cannot hit it by accident. The ad network is never given a photo, a thumbnail or anything at all about your library. Buying the app removes the banner from every screen, immediately.
Is it a subscription?
No. GigaBack is one purchase, made once through the App Store or Google Play, at the price your store shows in your own currency. There is no renewal and nothing to cancel. On a new phone, "Restore purchases" brings it back from the same store account. A refund goes through the store too, and the app simply returns to the free version.
Does it work without an internet connection?
The sorting does. Swiping, the trash, duplicate detection and your counters all work with no connection, and nothing on screen ever waits for the network. The banner and the purchase check do need one, and your counters catch up on their own the next time you are online.
