โ ๏ธ The Camera Roll Dilemma
Why Sorting Burst Photos by Hand Wastes Hours
Taking 5 to 10 shots of the same moment is easy. Picking the single sharpest frame with everyone's eyes open is painful.
Standard Cleaners Only Find Exact Dupes
iOS and Android gallery tools merge exact byte-for-byte duplicates. They cannot group similar bursts or tell which shot has the best facial expression.
Zooming In and Out 10 Times per Burst
Checking who blinked or whose focus drifted requires opening each photo, pinching to zoom, closing, and repeating. It drains mental energy.
Predatory $10/Week Subscription Cleaners
Most AI storage cleaners hook users with short trials then charge $50+ per year. PhotoCull is free to scan and review, with a fair one-time Pro upgrade.
Uploading Intimate Family Photos to Servers
Sending personal vacation shots, children, and documents to random overseas servers is a major privacy hazard. PhotoCull runs 100% on-device.
๐ Engineered for Speed

Find Crisp Micro-Focus in Cafe & Dish Shots
When shooting table flat-lays and cafe dishes, shallow depth-of-field can cause focus to land on a fork instead of the dessert. Use 4x Synced Zoom to confirm needle-sharp focus in a heartbeat.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions & Answers
How does PhotoCull determine the ๐ Best Pick?
PhotoCull uses a weighted composite scoring engine: Laplacian edge sharpness (35%), facial eye-openness and smile contrast (35%), exposure balance (15%), and user favorited status (15%). You can also switch presets between Portrait-first and Landscape-first in settings.
Can I restore photos moved to the trash?
Yes! PhotoCull never permanently deletes files directly. It routes deletions strictly through iOS "Recently Deleted" or the Android system trash, allowing you to restore any photo for up to 30 days.
Is PhotoCull a monthly or weekly subscription?
No. PhotoCull is free for scanning, reviewing, and trashing up to 15 photos per batch. The optional Pro upgrade is a one-time purchase with lifetime access.
Do photos or location coordinates ever leave my device?
Never. PhotoCull does all perceptual hashing, GPS proximity calculation, and scoring 100% offline in local Isolates. No user data ever leaves your device.
