## What is Photo Cleaner：LightSweep?

LightSweep is a private photo cleaner for iPhone.

It helps you review duplicate photos, similar shots, screenshots, screen recordings, Live Photos, and large videos before removing anything from your library. Analysis runs on your device, and every deletion stays under your control.

FIND THE BEST PLACE TO START
• Review screenshots, screen recordings, bursts, Live Photos, and large video candidates.
• See exact duplicate groups that have passed strong verification.
• Get results progressively instead of waiting for the entire library to finish.

COMPARE SIMILAR MOMENTS SAFELY
Similar photos are grouped by moment so you can compare them side by side. LightSweep never preselects a similar photo for removal. Keep it, review it, protect it from future suggestions, or decide later.

TACKLE LARGE VIDEOS
Find videos worth reviewing, see clearly labeled exact or estimated sizes, preview them, and choose an available compression option when supported. Compression creates a new copy first; the original remains unchanged unless you explicitly choose to review it for deletion.

CLEAN IN SMALL SESSIONS
Monthly Sweep turns a large photo library into manageable batches. Swipe right to keep, left to review, or up to decide later. Your progress is saved so you can return when you have time.

REVIEW BEFORE ANYTHING CHANGES

Every removal goes through the Review Basket, Final Review, and the iOS system confirmation dialog. Deleted items move to Recently Deleted in Photos, where they may remain recoverable for up to about 30 days.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Photo analysis runs on your device.
• LightSweep does not upload your photos or visual fingerprints.
• No account, ads, or tracking.
• Full Library and Selected Photos access are both supported.

HONEST ABOUT STORAGE
LightSweep distinguishes known exact sizes from estimates and does not count unknown items as zero. Initial analysis does not download iCloud-only originals. Storage may not be released immediately because deleted items remain in Recently Deleted until Photos removes them permanently.
