Clean up years of photos with a swipe.
Photos Cleanup brings the photos on your Mac or PC to your phone, one at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to trash, up to file it in a folder. Thousands of photos, sorted from your couch.
Free for Mac and Windows. The phone app runs on iPhone and Android.
Your best photos are in there somewhere.
Buried under screenshots, blurry shots, old receipts and nine takes of the same sunset. Sorting them at a desk feels like a chore, so it never happens. On your phone, it takes a thumb and a few spare minutes.
