Analyze messy media folders in place, find exact duplicates and reviewable cleanup candidates. Nothing uploads anywhere.
Browser safety mode. This version analyzes folders and stages approved files in a verified _SpoolTrash quarantine. Staging does not increase free disk space; empty the quarantine yourself after reviewing it. Full C-drive cleanup and Windows Recycle Bin support belong in Spool Desktop.
This tool needs Chrome, Edge, or Brave on desktop (File System Access API). It won't work in this browser.
1 · Folders & overview
No folders selected
Add as many root folders as you want — one per drive/album. Spool only reads files here; nothing moves until you approve an action below. Files aren't renamed or copied in this mode.
Add a folder to scan.
2 · Review what's cleanable
Flags folders with 40+ photos — common for timelapse source frames you may already have as a video.
Finds runs of 5–39 photos shot within ~2 seconds of each other in the same folder — continuous-shutter bursts, not full timelapses.
System junk files, zero-byte files, partial transfers, orphaned sidecars, and empty folders.
3 · Convert RAW to JPEG
Extracts the camera-generated JPEG preview while preserving supported camera, date, and GPS metadata. The written JPEG and quarantined RAW are verified before the original is removed. Review quality before deleting quarantine.
4 · Reclaim space
Browsers can't move files directly to the Windows Recycle Bin. Approved files are copied into a _SpoolTrash folder, verified byte-for-byte, and only then removed from their original location. This is recoverable staging—not freed disk space—until you review and manually empty _SpoolTrash.
