UpCleaner is the AI-powered storage cleaner and phone cleaner built for the iPhone. Find and delete duplicate photos, remove junk files, clear cache, and compress videos all in one tap. Free up 8–15 GB on your first scan. 100% on-device AI. No data uploaded, no cloud scanning, nothing leaves your phone. WHY UPCLEANER IS DIFFERENT ? Real AI, not fake numbers. Our on-device AI scans your actual storage and shows you exactly what each file is before anything gets deleted. You approve every deletion, nothing is removed automatically. Scan, review, clean. Done in under 60 seconds. IS YOUR IPHONE STORAGE FULL? If you can't take a photo at your kid's birthday, can't save a video, or can't update an app because "Storage Almost Full" keeps popping up, UpCleaner ends that for good. It finds what's secretly filling your phone: duplicate photos, junk files, residual app cache, and hidden clutter you never knew existed. WHAT UPCLEANER CLEANS ? 1. Duplicate Photo Cleaner - AI finds every duplicate and similar photo in your library. 5 duplicates means 5x the storage wasted. Review and delete them all in one tap. 2. Junk File Cleaner - Removes app cache, temp files, and leftover junk from apps you've already deleted. One tap, under 30 seconds. 3. Phone Storage Cleaner - A complete phone cleaner and storage optimizer that scans every corner of your iPhone storage, not just photos. 4. WhatsApp Cleaner - Every forwarded video, meme, and voice note still sitting on your phone. UpCleaner finds them all by size so you can clear them fast. 5. Video Compressor - Reduce video file sizes by up to 80% while keeping full quality, with your choice of compression level before saving. 6. Cache Cleaner - Clear Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube cache safely, app by app, without losing your logins or data. 7. Large File Finder - Instantly find the files taking up the most space. Delete the biggest first for the fastest storage recovery. 8. Similar Photo Cleaner - Groups near-identical photos from the same moment. Keep only the sharpest version and delete the rest. 9. iCloud Storage Cleaner - See exactly what's filling your iCloud storage. Remove duplicates and junk from your cloud backup, not just your device. 10. Storage Optimizer - Get a clear breakdown of what's using your storage, photo by photo, app by app, so nothing stays hidden. 11. ONE-TAP DEVICE-TO-DEVICE TRANSFER - Setting up a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac? UpCleaner now transfers photos, videos, and files between devices in one tap: no cables, no iCloud wait times, no syncing for hours. Move everything from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, or send files straight to your iPad or Mac, in a fraction of the usual time. PRIVACY & SAFETY, BUILT IN On-device AI only - your files never leave your phone unless you choose to transfer them. No data collection - we never store, sell, or access your files. You approve every deletion and every transfer - nothing happens automatically. No fake junk numbers, only real, actionable results you can verify yourself. HOW IT WORKS ? 1. Open UpCleaner: your scan starts in 30 seconds. 2. Review exactly what was found: duplicate photos, junk files, cache, and large files. 3. Select what to delete, or what to transfer to another device, with one tap. 4. Done. Storage freed. Files moved. WHO UPCLEANER IS FOR ? UpCleaner is built for anyone who has ever stared at "Storage Almost Full" and felt that small jolt of panic and for anyone switching to a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac who doesn't want to wait hours to move their files. Whether you're clearing gigabytes of WhatsApp clutter, or just clearing out years of duplicate screenshots, UpCleaner finds it, shows it to you honestly, and helps you move or clean it in seconds.
