Dedup2: Photo Cleaner

Dedup2 cleans up and enriches your photo library. Detection, quality scoring, and compression all run on your device using Apple's on-device Vision. FIND DUPLICATES Burst shots, retakes, and accidental copies pile up fast. Dedup2 uses Apple Vision feature prints to detect photos that look alike — not just exact copies — and groups them into clusters you can review at a glance. Unlike the Duplicates album in Photos, which only surfaces exact matches, Dedup2 finds visually similar shots: burst frames, retakes from a half-step to the side, and edited or re-saved copies Photos treats as separate images. • Adjustable sensitivity — High, Medium, or Low — to control how similar photos must be before they're grouped • Automatic quality ranking marks the weaker photo in each pair, using megapixels, subject focus, face quality, and aesthetic score • Auto-select as you scroll: the lower-quality photo is marked for you, so cleaning up is just tap-and-confirm • Favourites are flagged: anything you've favourited in Photos is badged with a heart, and if a delete batch includes a favourite you're warned with a one-tap "Delete non-favourites only" option — and you can favourite a photo from inside Dedup2 • Browse duplicates scoped to a specific year or album to tackle your library in pieces • Find duplicate videos too (experimental): a Photos/Videos switch groups near-identical clips — re-shares, repeated takes, 4K/1080p exports of one source — and flags the weaker clip by resolution, duration, and bitrate COMPRESS LARGE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS Dedup2 finds oversized photos and videos and resizes them to your chosen target, recovering storage while keeping quality high. • Photos: choose 12 or 24 MP, a custom target from 2 to 100 MP, or Original to flatten edits and remove the stored pre-edit original • Videos: choose a target resolution of 720p, 1080p, or 4K — switch between Photos and Videos in the Compress tab • Sort by potential savings, resolution, file size, or date • All metadata is preserved — GPS location, timestamps, color profiles, and EXIF data stay intact • Compressed copies are saved first; you decide whether their originals move to Recently Deleted BACKFILL MISSING LOCATIONS Screenshots, downloads, AirDrops, and photos taken with Location Services off often have no GPS. Dedup2 finds them and borrows coordinates from another photo taken around the same time — so a GPS-less shot inherits where you were. • Configurable matching window, from ±5 minutes up to ±4 hours • Every suggestion is reviewable: compare target and donor photos, see the time gap, and preview the proposed spot on a map before applying • Sort by closest match or photo date, and scope to a year or album • Screenshots are excluded by default • Reversible — a filled-in location can be reverted in-app from your fill history, or in Photos, at any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no cloud. Analysis, quality scoring, and compression all happen locally — your media is never uploaded. The Location feature uses Apple Maps for place names and map previews, sending a photo's coordinates (never the photo itself) to Apple, like the built-in Photos app. SAFE AND REVERSIBLE Nothing is deleted or changed without your confirmation. Removed originals go to Recently Deleted (recoverable for 30 days), and filled-in locations can be reverted at any time. WORKS WITH iCLOUD PHOTOS If your library lives in iCloud, Dedup2 can fetch iCloud-only items so they're analyzed too — not just what's already on your device. You choose: Wi-Fi only (the default), Wi-Fi & cellular, or off for a strictly local scan. FAST AND SMART Dedup2 caches its analysis so repeat scans are quick. Results stream in as they're found — no waiting for the whole library to finish. Requires iOS 18 or later.
