Photo Cleaner Games Compared
Last updated: September 23, 2026
Cleaning a camera roll is boring, so a new kind of app turns it into a game. They all start from the same swipe: left to delete, right to keep. What differs is the game around it: a rank, a streak, a pet, a quiz or a whole world. This page compares six of them: Picmori (our app), Wipix, SweepGo, Photo Monster, PhotoQuest and Tidy.

Picmori: an adventure made from your own gallery
In Picmori your gallery becomes a pixel-art world. After a short tutorial a map of 10 worlds opens, each with its own chapters, a chest and an 8-bit tune. Every level is made from your own photos: one year, one colour, your longest videos, your heaviest files. No one else plays the same levels. You swipe right to keep and left to delete, and nothing is deleted until you confirm at the end of the session.
Mori, a purple ghost, walks the road with you. You earn XP, open chests, dress Mori up from the wardrobe and find out which of 8 gallery heroes you are, from Screenshot Hamster to Lord of Clones. Exact copies and burst shots arrive as one group, with a suggested shot to keep, picked by resolution, file size and your favourites.
- Price: free, with no ads and no account. The free version gives you 4 sessions of 25 photos a day and short pauses between chapters. Premium (weekly, yearly with a free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase) removes both and unlocks the Premium review modes.
- Privacy: photos are analysed on your phone and never uploaded.
- Platforms: iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later, Android 7.0 or later.
Wipix: a rank and a leaderboard
Wipix keeps the cleaning itself simple: swipe left to mark a photo, right to keep it, then delete the marked ones in one batch. The game is your rank: 10 levels from Newbie to Pixel King, daily streaks and a weekly leaderboard against other people cleaning their galleries. It is on iPhone and Android. The free version lets you delete up to 50 photos a day, and Premium removes the limit.
SweepGo: your gallery as monthly quests
SweepGo lays your gallery out month by month as review quests. Every decision earns EXP toward levels and badges, and a streak rewards coming back. Photos you swipe left go to a Bin inside the app, and nothing is removed until you open it and confirm. It is on the App Store for iPhone.
Photo Monster: a pet that eats your deleted photos
In Photo Monster the photos you delete feed a monster. Sorting earns rewards you spend in a shop on collectibles and themes, and a daily streak makes the rewards bigger. You go through the library month by month and can file photos into albums as you go. It shows no ads and is paid for with optional in-app purchases. It is on the App Store for iPhone.
PhotoQuest: a quiz about your memories
PhotoQuest is a quiz rather than a sweep. A random photo from your camera roll appears, you guess when it was taken and score points for a close guess, then keep it, add it to an album or delete it. It tracks high scores and streaks. A Pro subscription unlocks unlimited photos. It is on the App Store for iPhone.
Tidy: a full cleaner with streaks on top
Tidy is a complete cleaning toolkit with game elements added: daily challenges, weekly goals, streaks and levels from Rookie to Legend. It also finds blurry and similar photos with AI, files photos into albums with a swipe up and has a photo editor with more than 30 filters. It is on iPhone (iOS 18 or later) and Android. Both versions list ads, and the Tidy Gold subscription removes them.

Questions about photo cleaner games
What is a photo cleaner game?
An app that cleans your camera roll through a game. You still decide about every photo yourself, usually by swiping left to delete and right to keep, and the app wraps those decisions in levels, streaks, points, rewards or a whole world, so the cleanup is something you want to come back to.
Which photo cleaner game should I choose?
Pick by the game you enjoy. Picmori is a pixel-art adventure whose levels are made from your own photos, with a ghost companion named Mori. Wipix is about your rank and a weekly leaderboard. SweepGo turns each month of your gallery into a quest with EXP and badges. Photo Monster is a pet that eats the photos you delete. PhotoQuest is a quiz about when a photo was taken. Tidy is a full cleaner with AI detection and streaks on top.
Can a photo cleaner game delete my photos by accident?
On iPhone the system asks before any app deletes photos, and deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for about 30 days. Picmori also collects your choices and deletes nothing until you confirm at the end of the session. On Android, photos deleted with Picmori are removed permanently, so review the list before you confirm.
