CleanuplyFind the largest videos on your iPhone.
Cleanuply ranks available videos by estimated size. Preview the biggest ones and confirm only the selections you want to remove.
First cleanup free, up to 10 items. Further cleanups require Premium.How Cleanuply finds your biggest videos
Four on-device steps. No cloud upload, no auto-deletion.
Step 1 — Scan every video on your device
Cleanuply pulls metadata for every video in your library — size, duration, capture date, format. The scan happens on-device using Apple's PhotoKit, so nothing is uploaded.
Step 2 — Rank by size, biggest first
Compare estimated size, duration and thumbnails. Open a video before deciding whether to keep it.
Step 3 — Preview before you decide
Tap any video to play it inline. See exactly what you're about to delete. Long videos get a scrubber so you can sample without watching the whole thing.
Step 4 — Confirm and reclaim
Selected videos go to Recently Deleted, where they stay recoverable for 30 days. Emptying Recently Deleted ends recovery. Local storage figures can take time to update.
Where the biggest videos hide
Most people are surprised which clips are taking up the most space.
iPhone-shot 4K videos
Recording format, resolution and frame rate affect file size. Compare your own clips to see which use the most space.
Old screen recordings
Tutorials and bug-report recordings from years ago. Compare their sizes and preview the recording before making a selection.
AirDrop/Messages saves
Videos friends sent you that auto-saved to your library. Often forgotten and rarely watched twice.
Live Photos converted to video
If you converted Live Photos to video clips, they're heavier than the originals and worth a second look.
Cleanuply's Large Videos category covers all of these in one ranked list. The Heavy Hitters category goes one step further by mixing videos with the largest individual photos and Live Photos — useful for finding the absolute biggest files across media types.
Frequently asked questions
The recurring ones we get about iPhone video cleanup.
How do I find the largest videos on my iPhone?
In Settings → General → iPhone Storage, check whether Photos accounts for a large share. Use Cleanuply to review available videos by estimated size and preview them before removing any.
How much space do videos typically take on a 3-year-old iPhone?
File sizes depend on duration and recording settings. Check your library total in Settings and review individual videos before deleting.
Will deleting large videos hurt my iCloud Photos?
With iCloud Photos enabled, deletion also syncs to iCloud and other devices on the account. To keep the videos and reduce local storage use, review Optimize iPhone Storage in Photos settings.
Can I preview a video before deleting it through Cleanuply?
Yes. Every video has an inline player with a scrubber. You can sample any part of the video — useful for old screen recordings or long clips where you forgot the content.
What's a screen recording and why are they so big?
Screen recordings capture your iPhone screen. Their sizes vary with duration, content and settings.
Can Cleanuply auto-delete videos over a certain size?
No. Cleanuply never auto-deletes anything. Every action requires your explicit tap. You can sort and select multiple videos in bulk, but the final delete confirmation is always on you.
