The results speak for themselves
Real results from real cleanup sessions
You can scan and preview these results for free.
Average storage recovered
Duplicates found per library
to review and clean a 100K photo library
On-device processing
Results vary by library size and condition.
The problem
Your photo library is out of control
The average person has 2,000+ photos on their device. Most have never been organized. Duplicates alone waste 10–30% of your storage.
Duplicates everywhere
Same photo saved 4 times across devices, cloud syncs, and imports. Every backup creates more copies you'll never sort through.
Blurry & useless shots
Half your library is motion blur, accidental screenshots, and test shots you meant to delete months ago.
Zero organization
Files named IMG_4392.HEIC dumped into one giant folder. No structure. No system. No way to find anything.
What if your Mac fixed all of this automatically?
One click. Every problem found.
Photiva scans your entire library and instantly groups everything that wastes space: duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots, oversized videos, and Live Photo data. No manual sorting. No guesswork. Just a clear breakdown of what can be cleaned safely.
- Finds exact duplicates with SHA-256 matching
- Groups visually similar photos
- Flags blurry shots for review
- Selects the best frame in bursts
- Separates screenshots, Live Photos, and large videos
Find every duplicate. Even the ones that look identical but aren't.
Three comparison modes catch everything: byte-perfect duplicates, visually similar shots with different crops or edits, and burst series taken seconds apart. Drag the matching threshold slider and watch results regroup in real time.
- Exact file matching (SHA-256) and visual similarity (perceptual hash, color histogram, Vision ML)
- Time-based burst grouping for photos taken seconds apart
- Live threshold adjustment with results updating instantly
- Side-by-side comparison mode for cross-folder detection
- Auto-selects the best shot in every group based on sharpness, exposure, and resolution
From chaos to a perfectly structured library.
Choose from 5 organization systems or build your own with custom templates. Photiva reads EXIF data from every photo and sorts your library into a clean folder structure. Preview exactly what will happen before a single file moves.
- 5 built-in systems: Chronological, Event-Based, Camera-First, Flat Daily, and Custom templates
- Full EXIF metadata extraction: date, camera, GPS, lens info
- Event auto-detection using time gaps and GPS coordinates
- Live preview of the new folder structure before execution
- Rollback support: undo any organization within 30 days
Reclaim gigabytes without losing a single memory.
Compress photos and videos intelligently. Convert bloated JPEGs to HEIF at half the size. Downscale 48MP phone shots to a reasonable resolution. Shrink hour-long 4K videos to a fraction of their size. See estimated savings before you commit.
- HEIF conversion: JPEG/PNG to HEIF at ~50% smaller file size
- Quality reduction and resolution downscaling with aspect ratio preserved
- Video compression with 3 presets (1080p / 720p / 480p)
- Live Photo to still conversion to remove hidden video data
- Estimated savings shown before any operation
Some photos aren't for everyone.
Move sensitive photos into an encrypted vault protected by Touch ID. They're hidden from your library, excluded from all cleanup operations, and encrypted with AES-256. Only you can access them.
- AES-GCM 256-bit encryption for all vault contents
- Touch ID and macOS password authentication
- Hidden from all cleanup and organization operations
- Export back to your library anytime
Your contacts are a mess too.
Duplicate contacts pile up from email, iCloud, and phone syncs. Photiva finds them by exact name, phone number, or fuzzy matching and merges them intelligently. Emails, phone numbers, and names are combined. Duplicates are deleted.
- Exact name and phone number matching across all sources
- Fuzzy name matching that catches "John Smith" vs "jon smith" vs "Jon Smith"
- Smart merge: combines all contact info, deletes duplicates
