Free Swipewipe Alternatives

By Aleksandrs Vozņarskis, developer of Picmori

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Swipewipe is free to download, but its free version shows ads, as both of its store pages say. On iPhone it needs iOS 18 or later.

Short answer: for the same swipe with no ads, try Picmori (no daily limit), Wipix (50 deletions a day for free) or Photo Monster (iPhone with iOS 18.6 or later). To sort into albums as you go, Slidebox.

Swipewipe itself goes month by month, with On This Day, a map of your photos and a search for similar and blurry shots. App Store · Google Play

Left to delete, right to keep, with undo.

Picmori free mode: a photo card dragged to the left turns red with a cross, marked to delete
Swiped left: marked to delete, not deleted yet.

Instead of months, a map of 10 worlds. Each chapter is built from your gallery: one year, one colour, your heaviest files.

Picmori chapter card: Chapter 2, reward 120 XP, photos a little newer than the oldest ones
A chapter on the map, with its own slice of your photos and its own reward.

Copies and burst shots come as one group, side by side. One shot is marked to keep.

Picmori board with three similar shots, the best one kept and two marked Will be deleted
Keep the best shot, the rest go.

At the end you see what goes and confirm once. Nothing is deleted before that.
