Right, left, down.

    → Keep

    The ones you love stay put.

  • A half-finished plate of food: a photo to delete

    ← Delete

    Reviewed before anything goes.

  • A grey beach from the car park: a photo to decide later

    ↓ Later

    Not sure? Park it for later.

Nothing gets deleted until you say so.

Swiping only marks a photo. Nothing goes until you confirm.

  1. You swipe

    Mark photos for deletion at your own pace. Nothing happens yet.

  2. You review

    See every photo you marked. Rescue any you changed your mind about.

  3. You confirm

    Tap delete. Items go to Recently Deleted for 30 more days.

No catch. Here's the receipt.

Everyone together

Since March 2026, people have freed 46.6 TB and cleared 5.69 million photos and videos with Pixtide, in 131 countries.

Updated daily from the app's usage counts, last on 9 November 2026. Freed means moved to Recently Deleted, where photos stay for 30 days.

Pixtide started as a small side project and grew faster than I expected. Free stays free for everyday tidying; Pro is one payment if you have a mountain to clear.
