Pick the best shot from a burst, and let the rest go

Overview

Ten near-identical photos of the same group, taken in a row to be safe, are normal; choosing among them later is the chore. iEdit finds these bursts and series, every run of look-alike shots taken within 90 seconds, and scores each photo for sharpness, light, faces and size. The winner is marked Best, with the reason spelled out: Sharpest, Best light, Eyes open, Smiling or Largest. The other shots are ticked so you can delete them in one go.

The face checks look for open eyes and smiles using the face detection built into iOS and Android, and the sharpness and light scores are computed from the image itself, all on your device. You remain in charge: untick any photo you want to keep, or pick a different one as the keeper. Deleting runs through the system confirmation and sends photos to Recently Deleted on iPhone and iPad for 30 days or to the trash on Android 11 and later.

It is made for group photos, children who will not hold still, pets, sports days and any event where you shot first and sorted never. The analysis never leaves your device, works with limited photo access and needs no internet connection. Picking the best shot and deleting the rest is free, and the Find duplicates tool handles the exact copies that bursts do not cover.
