How to find large videos taking up space on iPhone
The fastest way to reclaim gigabytes is to find your biggest videos first — sorting the library by file size surfaces the few large clips that use most of the space. PicClear — Find duplicates & huge videos in one scan.
Short answer
A handful of long 4K videos often take more room than thousands of photos. Instead of scrolling, sort your library by size so the space hogs come to the top, then review and delete the ones you don't need. PicClear scans on-device and sorts large videos by size, alongside duplicate photos and old screenshots, and it never auto-deletes — you review and confirm each one. Nothing is uploaded. It's pay-once, so clearing space costs nothing extra.
Try PicClear on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
