## What is Spare?

Clean up duplicate and similar photos while keeping the final say. Spare brings similar shots together so you can compare details, choose what stays, and review the extras before deleting. Use Swipe to review individual photos. Photo analysis happens on your device.

Five shots of one moment? Bring them together, compare the details, and keep one, several, or all of them.

START WITH SIMILAR PHOTOS
Find groups of similar photos and start reviewing them as they appear. Open a group to see your options together, then choose what stays.

SEE THE DETAILS
Compare two photos side by side, switch between shots, and zoom in for a closer look. A highlighted suggestion helps you spot a possible keeper when there is a clear choice.

MAKE EACH CHOICE YOURS
Slide between Remove and Keep. Photos marked for removal are dimmed so your choices are easy to see. Keep one photo, several, or the whole group. Prefer a different pace? Use Swipe to review photos one at a time.

STAY IN CONTROL
Your choices are saved as you go. Review selected photos before deleting and confirm the removal yourself. Photos marked as favorites stay protected.

KEEP PHOTO ANALYSIS ON YOUR DEVICE
Spare analyzes locally available photos on your device and does not upload them. Choose which photos Spare can access. Discovery runs while the app is open, and you can start reviewing groups as they appear.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Your review progress is saved on your device, so you can return to it later.

Spare works with the photos it can access and analyze. Some matches may be missed, and photos available only in iCloud may be skipped. Storage estimates describe photo-file sizes; actual space recovered can vary. Photos in Recently Deleted may delay storage recovery. With iCloud Photos enabled, deleting a photo also removes it from your synced devices.

Make room for what's next. Start with the extras.

FREE AND SPARE PLUS

Spare Plus is a paid auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription for unlimited photo reviews without ads. The price and subscription period are shown before purchase.
