See what fills your phone's storage, photo by photo
Storage insight in iEdit shows how much space photos take on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone, broken down by file type and by year, with a device bar for photos, other data and free space, the 10 largest photos, a Screenshots card and a link to Find duplicates. All on your device.
Overview
Storage insight opens with one number, the total size of your photos, and a bar that splits your device into photos, everything else and free space. Below it, the photos are broken down by file type, HEIC, JPEG, PNG and the rest, and by year, so you can see whether a decade of JPEGs or last year's HEICs weighs most. A Screenshots card shows how much the screenshots add up to, with a Review button to go through them, and a top-10 list shows your largest photos.
All the figures are read from the photo library on your device; iEdit does not upload a byte or keep a copy of your photos. The tool works with full access or with a selection of photos, and then the totals describe the selection. From the Screenshots card and the largest-photos list you can act straight away, and a link takes you to Find duplicates when copies are the likely culprit. Deleting always goes through your system's confirmation and lands in Recently Deleted or the trash.
Open it when the phone warns that storage is almost full, before a trip that will need room for photos, or when you are deciding whether a bigger cloud plan is really necessary. The breakdowns point at the fix: clear the screenshots, remove the duplicates, or go through the heaviest year in the Gallery timeline. Storage insight is free, needs no account and shows no ads.

Frequently asked questions
Does Storage insight need an internet connection?
No. iEdit reads sizes, file types and dates from the photo library on your device and adds them up there. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed, so the tool works in flight mode. With limited photo access, the totals cover only the photos you have selected.
Is Storage insight free?
Yes, fully. The totals, the device bar, the breakdowns by type and year, the Screenshots review and the list of largest photos are free, and iEdit Premium is not involved. Premium is about taking files out of My files, which this tool never does. iEdit has no ads.
Can I free up space from inside Storage insight?
Yes, always with your confirmation. The Screenshots card has a Review button for going through them, the largest photos are listed so you can decide about each, and a link opens Find duplicates. Any deletion goes through your system's dialog and lands in Recently Deleted or the Android trash.
