Find duplicate photos, choose the shots to keep, and reclaim storage without uploading your library. PicDeDupe analyzes photos privately on your device and keeps you in control before anything is removed. SMART DUPLICATE CLEANUP • Find duplicate and visually similar still photos. • Apple Vision verifies scan results on device for both Free and Pro. • Review recommended keepers using sharpness, exposure, visual quality, resolution, favorites, and your preferences. • Change the keeper before cleanup. • Choose Strict, Normal, or Loose matching sensitivity. • Videos, bursts, and Live Photos have separate cleanup screens. MORE WAYS TO RECLAIM SPACE • Review large videos sorted by size. • Review screenshots and burst sequences in focused cleanup screens. • Burst recommendations prioritize your picks and favorites, then assessed image quality. • Identify likely blurry photos among your most recent 300 photos. • Review Live Photos, with a clear reminder that deleting one removes both its still image and motion clip. • Track estimated storage savings and cleanup progress in Insights. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Duplicate comparison, Apple Vision verification, and keeper analysis run on your device. Your photos are not uploaded. No account is required, and the app contains no ads or third-party tracking SDKs. Cleanup summaries report the scan's counts and estimated savings. REVIEW BEFORE REMOVING You review the selected items before deletion, and Photos asks for confirmation. Deleted items move to Recently Deleted.

FREE AND PRO Free includes one successful duplicate scan per day with the same Apple Vision verification as Pro, access to the three highest-value duplicate sets, and manual review. A scan with no duplicate groups does not use your daily allowance. PicDeDupe Pro adds: • Unlimited scans and every duplicate set • Smart Clean and bulk review • Advanced keeper preferences and explanations • More frequent background checks • Blurry and Live Photo cleanup • Keeper recommendation export Pro is available through Weekly and Yearly auto-renewable subscriptions or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Clean up — Photo & Video Cleaner Your iPhone camera never stops. Burst shots, duplicate saves, screenshots you forgot about, videos from years ago — they pile up silently until your storage is full and your library feels like a mess. Clean up is built to fix that, feature by feature, at whatever pace works for you. Swipe to Review The fastest way to clear out your camera roll. Go through your library one photo at a time and swipe to keep, delete, or save to favorites. Your progress is saved automatically so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Duplicate Detection Clean up scans your library for exact duplicates and near-identical shots — burst sequences, edited copies, re-saved images — and groups them together. Review each group and keep only the best one. Large Photos A fast size scan surfaces your heaviest photos ranked from largest to smallest, so you get the biggest storage wins first without scrolling through thousands of images. Large Videos Videos are one of the biggest storage drains on any iPhone. Clean up finds and ranks large videos in your library so you can review, select, delete, or compress the ones you no longer need. Video Compression Shrink large videos directly inside the app. Choose your compression level, keep the original or replace it, and reclaim space without deleting anything. Screenshots Your native iOS Screenshots album, directly in the app. Browse saved receipts, instructions, and memes you captured and never needed again. Large Files Pick any folder from your Files app and Clean up will rank everything inside it by size — photos, videos, documents, and other files — so you know what is taking up space. Album Management Create new albums, rename existing ones, delete albums you no longer use, and add photos to any album without leaving the app. Browse your full album library with search, thumbnails, and item counts. Secure Folder Lock private photos behind Face ID or Touch ID. Photos in the secure folder are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded, synced, or shared. Favorites Save the photos that matter most with a single swipe. Your favorites are collected in one place so they are easy to find, share, or back up. Bin Deleted photos go to your bin first. Review what is there, restore anything you want back, or clear the bin when you are ready. Achievements Clean up tracks your progress over time — photos reviewed, space freed, sessions completed — and rewards milestones as you go. Built for Privacy Every scan, review, compression, and deletion happens on your device. Clean up does not upload your photos, does not require an account, and does not connect to any server for media cleanup. Your library is yours. Subscription Information Clean up may offer auto-renewable subscriptions that unlock premium features. Subscription plans, duration, and pricing are shown clearly on the purchase screen before confirmation. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings.
