Videos cleanup
Find Large and Similar Videos on iPhone
A minute of 4K video takes hundreds of megabytes. A handful of forgotten clips usually outweighs thousands of photos.

What it does
- All videos with their sizes, so the heavy ones are obvious.
- Similar videos — retakes of the same scene, grouped like similar photos.
- iCloud Organizer — videos stored in iCloud, kept separately so you know what is on the device and what isn’t.
- A direct path to the compressor for videos you want to keep.
How it works
- Open Videos Cleanup and let the scan finish.
- Check the biggest clips and the similar groups.
- Delete what you don’t need, or compress the keepers — compressed copies keep the original date and albums.
Questions
Why do videos take so much space?
iPhone video is recorded at a high bitrate for editing headroom. 4K at 60 fps is several hundred megabytes per minute — far more than any number of photos taken in that minute.
Can I keep a video but make it smaller?
Yes — that’s what the video compressor is for. The compressed copy keeps the original date and albums.
Do it for the whole library
