Frequently asked questions

How do I free up storage on my iPhone with Nixly?

Nixly scans your photo library on device and surfaces what is actually reclaimable: exact duplicates, similar shots, forgotten screenshots and oversized videos. You review each group in a fast swipe-to-clean flow, keeping the best shot and clearing the rest, then empty Recently Deleted to truly free the space.

Is Nixly free, and what does Nixly Pro cost?

Nixly is free to download. You can scan your entire library, see every duplicate, similar shot, screenshot and large video, and use a set of free deletions at no cost. Nixly Pro unlocks unlimited cleaning, video shrinking, Smart Clean and unlimited swipe-to-clean, priced at $4.99 weekly with a 3-day free trial, or $29.99 yearly.

When I delete photos in Nixly, is the storage freed right away?

Not immediately, and Nixly tells you this clearly. Deleting photos moves them to your iPhone's Recently Deleted album, where iOS keeps them for 30 days. Your storage is not truly reclaimed until you empty that album. Nixly shows exactly where the space goes so the numbers stay honest, with no fake boost claims.

Are my photos private and safe with Nixly?

Yes. Nixly runs all of its analysis 100% on your iPhone. There is no account to create, no cloud upload, and no tracking, and nothing is ever sent to a server. Its App Store privacy label states Data Not Collected. Your photos never leave your phone at any point while you use the app.

How does Nixly find duplicate and similar photos?

Nixly analyzes your library on device to detect exact duplicates — true byte-for-byte copies — and separately groups similar shots, such as bursts and near-identical photos. It keeps those categories apart so your counts are never inflated. In each group Nixly pre-selects the highest-quality shot, so you never accidentally lose the best version.

Can Nixly shrink large videos to save space?

Yes. Large videos are often the biggest storage hogs, so Nixly can re-encode them to a smaller size directly on your iPhone, reclaiming real space while keeping the memory. Video shrinking is part of Nixly Pro, alongside unlimited cleaning, Smart Clean and unlimited swipe-to-clean. As with everything in Nixly, the processing happens on device.

What is the difference between free Nixly and Nixly Pro?

Free Nixly lets you scan your whole library, see every duplicate, similar shot, screenshot and large video, and make a set of free deletions. Nixly Pro removes those limits: unlimited cleaning, unlimited swipe-to-clean, on-device video shrinking, and Smart Clean. Pro is $4.99 weekly with a 3-day free trial, or $29.99 yearly for the best value.
