About PixelSieve: Sift & Save Space

Meet PixelSieve - the fastest way to sift your camera roll and find your best shots.

It’s built for people with large or small libraries: filter by real technical metadata (2K/4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, RAW/ProRAW, Live, Portrait, Cinematic, Slow-Mo, Time-lapse, Screen Recordings, DJI, Country and more).

Sort by date or file size, preview instantly, share, add to albums, compress, delete safely (moves to Recently Deleted).

Your entire library - neatly sieved.

Why you’ll love it:

- SmartSievePro (Advanced Filters): optional “second-pass” scans that unlock deeper metadata (and keeps expanding over time).
- Task Centre scans (with progress + resume): run heavy analysis in the background with clear progress, cancellation, and resume support.
- Compression tools + reports: shrink photos & videos with minimal visible quality loss — and get a clean report showing original size, new size, and space saved.
- Power search: search by date, location, filename, and size — including friendly dates like “16th December 2025”.
- Device filtering: automatically groups media by capture device (e.g. iPhone models, DJI, etc.) so you can filter your library by what shot it.
- Built for speed: on-device analysis + caching. Use Reload Recent (Today / Last 7 / Last 30 / Last 90 / custom ranges) to avoid full rescans.
- Confident cleanup: select with a tap, multi-select actions, and safe deletion to Recently Deleted.
