How do I search Google Photos by size?

I’d like to delete larger files on my Google Photos to have more storage.

Thank you,

Hi @MWitarsa ,

As @TheEagleEye 's answer is the correct one, I decided to accept his reply as a solution. To learn more about when and how to accept posts as solutions, please feel free to check this article called - How do I mark comments as solutions?.

P.S.: Please note that I relabeled your publications and it now appears in the How-tos board, where it fits best because this section on Connect is specifically dedicated for questions or inquires that Local Guides may have towards the program in general.

Hi @MWitarsa

The solution given by @TheEagleEye is indeed correct, and the meaning is: you don’t need to delete your photo with larger size. Setting Google photo in High quality, the size of your larger photos will be reduced to 16 Mpx. With this setting you have unlimited storage of photos and videos

Thank you all @ErmesT @TheEagleEye for replying.

I wasn’t considering to reduce picture quality because I have 100 Mpx spherical pictures published on Google Maps / Street, and I’m not sure if it will affect published pictures on Google Maps/Street.

Anyway, I have tons of photos and videos that is in my iPhone that was synced with Google Photos.

As I don’t need to keep all videos (and those are the larger files), I’m wondering to prioritize my search for larger files. Any suggestion?

@MWitarsa reducing the size doesn’t affect quality at all. You don’t even notice a difference. Try it and you will be surprised how much storage you have available.

As far as I know your contributions on Google Maps and Street View does not impact your storage @MWitarsa , but I am tagging @SonyaN for a feedback
