Terms of Use

Last updated: November 12, 2026

1. Acceptance

By using YELD, you agree to these Terms of Use.

2. Functionality

The App lets you review, keep, and delete photos and videos stored on your device. It can also make smaller copies of your videos, turn Live Photos into still photos, convert ProRAW photos to HEIF, read the text in your screenshots so you can search and save it as notes, and group your photos into trips and events. It can also find screenshots that may show private data (Privacy check).

3. Responsibility

You are responsible for reviewing photos and videos before deletion. Items you delete in the App first go to Yeld Trash and are removed from your library only when you empty Yeld Trash and confirm the iOS prompt. After that, they may be recoverable only according to iOS/Photos behavior (for example, Recently Deleted), and may become permanently unrecoverable after final removal.

Compressed and converted copies. Compressing a video, turning a Live Photo into a photo, or converting a ProRAW photo creates a new copy with less data than the original (lower bitrate or resolution, no motion, or no RAW data). The original is moved to Yeld Trash. Once you empty Yeld Trash, the original quality cannot be restored from the copy. If you want to keep the full-quality original elsewhere, save it first (for example, with “Save the original first”).

Automatic titles. Titles and topics for screenshots on devices with Apple Intelligence are generated automatically and may be inaccurate.

Privacy check. The Privacy check looks for common patterns of private data. It can miss some and may show screenshots that are fine. It does not replace your own review.

4. Yeld Pro

Core features are free. Yeld Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks the App’s Pro tools (such as video compression, Live Photos to photos, screenshots to notes, and ProRAW conversion) for the lifetime of the App, subject to continued availability of the App and its services. It does not renew and is not a subscription.

Each Pro tool can be tried a limited number of times for free before purchase. Prices are set in the App Store and may change; promotional prices may be offered for a limited time. Purchases are billed by Apple to your Apple ID and can be restored on the Yeld Pro screen. Free tries may have limits, for example a maximum video size.

Earlier subscriptions:
If you subscribed to Premium before, you keep access to Yeld Pro features at no extra cost. Premium subscriptions are no longer offered. If an earlier subscription is still active, it renews until you cancel it in your Apple ID account settings.

5. Disclaimer

The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data or of photo and video quality resulting from use of the App.

7. Changes

These Terms may be updated from time to time. Any changes are effective when posted on this page.
