Clean up and organize your media in one place

Review your photos, videos and audio, keep what you really need and remove the rest. Organize the files you keep into folders while you review. More free space on your phone or tablet comes as a bonus.

All in one app, without switching between your gallery, file manager and trash, and without searching through their menus.

How it works

  1. Scan

    KeepNinja scans the photos, videos and audio files it can access, then sorts them into categories. After the first scan, it checks for new media whenever you open the app.

  2. Review and mark

    Review your files one at a time or in a grid. Mark anything you want to remove with a simple tap or swipe. Files you do not mark remain untouched.

  3. Organize while you review

    Want to keep a file but put it somewhere else? Tap Move and choose a folder, or create a new one, without leaving your review.

  4. Decide when you are ready

    Your marked files collect in Marked for removal. Nothing is deleted automatically, and your marks do not expire. Review them all in one place. If you change your mind about a file, unmark it.

What KeepNinja finds

On the home screen, your media is already sorted into categories.

By month and By folder

Every photo and video, one month or one folder at a time. Review years of media, already categorized, so it does not feel like work. Complete review saves your choices and opens the next month or folder still to review. In By folder, you can show only the files older than an age you choose.

Audio

Music, voice notes and recordings, one folder at a time. Listen to a file before you decide what to keep.

Quick reviews

Categories that pick out what is most worth checking:

  • Large videos and Large photos: files over a size you choose.
  • Duplicates: groups of copies of the same photo.
  • Similar shots: groups of photos that look alike, taken a short time apart. You choose how alike they must be.
  • Screenshots and Screen recordings: the pictures and videos taken of your screen.

If free space is your main goal, start here. The category with the most to free comes first, and most categories show their biggest files and groups first.

Compare similar photos side by side

Instead of switching between similar shots one at a time, see two of them at once. In Duplicates and Similar shots, tap Compare. One pinch zooms both photos together, so you can check the details that matter to you, such as focus or closed eyes. When you mark a photo, the next photo of the group takes its place.

In Duplicates, a Recommended badge shows which copy to keep and why, when it can.
