How to Find Large Videos Taking Up iPhone Storage
Culr by MRVL identifies and lists every large video on your iPhone, sorted by file size, so you can decide which ones to delete. The large-video finder is available in Culr Pro and shows you exactly how much storage each video consumes.
Why Large Videos Hog Your iPhone Storage
Video files are the fastest way to fill an iPhone. A single 4K video can easily consume 100MB to 1GB, depending on duration and recording quality. After a year of casual filming, your camera roll may contain dozens of videos you never watch again: blurry recordings, duplicates, failed takes, or clips from messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. Most people have no idea which videos are taking up the most space until they hit storage limits and can't install updates or take new photos. Finding the culprits manually means scrolling through your entire camera roll and estimating sizes, which is impractical.
Use Culr's Large-Video Finder to See Storage Hogs
Culr Pro includes a large-video finder that scans your camera roll and displays every video sorted by file size, largest first. This means you immediately see your biggest storage offenders without guessing. You can then swipe through each video to preview it and decide whether to keep or delete it. Unlike generic file cleaners, Culr focuses only on your photos and videos, so the results are relevant and trustworthy. As of June 2026, Culr also detects videos downloaded from WhatsApp and Telegram, which often accumulate silently in the background. Every delete is checked against iCloud sync status first, so you never lose a photo that hasn't backed up yet.
Storage Analytics: See Your Freed Space Over Time
Knowing which videos to delete is one thing; seeing the impact is another. Culr Pro's storage analytics dashboard uses a 14-day freed-bytes chart to show you exactly how much space you've reclaimed since you started using the app. The dashboard also breaks down your library by type: photos, videos, screenshots, and duplicates. This gives you a clear picture of where your storage is going. If you delete 10 large videos one day and 5 the next, you can see the cumulative effect on your available space, which often motivates further cleanup.
Automated Cleanup with Scheduled Auto-Clean
If you'd rather not manually hunt for videos every month, Culr Pro offers scheduled auto-clean via daily, weekly, or monthly options. You set the rules for what gets deleted (duplicates, similar photos, blurry videos, old screenshots), and Culr handles the rest on your schedule. The app still applies the iCloud-sync check before deleting anything, so automation doesn't mean risk. This is particularly useful for photographers or anyone who shoots frequently and generates hundreds of files every week. Set it and reclaim storage without touching your phone.
Culr vs. Manual Phone Storage Management
iPhone's built-in storage settings show you which apps are using the most space, but not which individual videos are the heaviest. You'd have to open Photos, scroll backward through years of footage, and estimate sizes visually. Culr removes that friction. The app's swipe-to-delete workflow makes culling hundreds of videos fast and intentional. For wedding or event photographers using Culr, the Pro tier includes Photographer Mode, which groups videos by 2-hour shoots and lets you cull per session rather than one file at a time. This workflow alone saves hours compared to manual cleanup.

Download Culr from the App Store or Google Play. The free tier lets you swipe-cull unlimited videos, delete screenshots, and detect WhatsApp media.
