Our Smartphone serves a lot of purposes like calling or messaging a friend, browsing the web, playing games, connecting with friends on social media, and capturing those beautiful moments. With the inception of mobile phones, one thing that has been changed a great deal is the cameras. The smart phones coming nowadays are power packed with such a powerful camera that anyone can get that perfect click with a mere tap. And this has attracted us in capturing more and more images with different poses, vivid angles and settings.

Now, what this has resulted, is in filling our photos gallery to brim with a huge number of images.

We are not sure that how many of you know that every image captured, every image received or every screenshot taken, or even image downloaded becomes a part of the phone gallery. And therefore with time your phone gallery becomes full of photos and you are left with no more free space to capture any image.

So if you too are facing a problem with a phone gallery full of photos and wish to free up space then you have landed at the right place. In this article we will discuss some easy ways to free up space on your phone. Let’s start.

Delete Duplicate Photos

The most prominent reason for our phone gallery to be running out of space is due to duplicate photos. However, most of us never even notice this thing. If you think about where these duplicates came from. Then the answer to this is that for getting that perfect shot you have captured numerous images and then later forget to remove the unneeded ones after you got that perfect click. Also, if you share the images with your friends or transfer them from your PC or other mobile then it also results in duplicate images.

Now, the problem with duplicate photos is that it is quite hard to locate them. If you manually try to delete duplicate photos then you have to invest a lot of time and effort, and still there is no guarantee that you will be able to remove all the duplicate images.

We have searched around the web and found Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro as an amazing duplicate photo finder tool to remove the duplicate from Android phone in a jiffy.

The app is extremely easy to use. All you need to do is select the scan type from the main app window and start the scan. Now the app will help you to find the exact as well as similar looking images.

Moreover, the app will also search through both the internal as well as external (SD card) storage of your device. In a nutshell Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro is a simplistic duplicate photo finder tool that helps to remove duplicate images with no manual efforts and free up space that was occupied by the duplicate images.

Backup your Photos to Google Photos or any other Cloud

Photos take up a huge amount of space on your phone, so it’s always recommended to upload these images to the Cloud. If you look around the Internet you will find various cloud backup services. However, if you are looking for a free backup service then you can go with Google Photos that helps you to store 15 GB of images to its servers. If you need more space then you can purchase additional storage.

Other cloud backup service options include Microsoft’s OneDrive, Amazon Photos, and Dropbox. All these will help you to save your images from mobile to their servers for a few dollars per month. For further pricing, you can check the individual backup services for the latest plan and pricing.

Free up Space on using Google Photos

If you are using Google Photos to backup your image then you can use the same Google Photos to free up space on your device by removing the images that are already backed up to Google servers.

To free up space on your Android device using Google Photos follow the steps below:

1. On your Android phone tap on the Google Photos app to open it.

2. Tap your account profile photo located at the top right corner of your screen.

3. Now tap on the Free up option to remove the images from your device that are successfully backed up to your Google Photos account.

Now depending on the amount of data backed up you will be able to free up a handsome amount of space on your Phone gallery.
