CleanMate is a phone cleaner for duplicate and similar photos. Smart photo matching recommends a picture to keep and selects the extras for one-tap cleanup. Free up space with photo and video deletion that has no quantity limit and no ads. Smart photo cleanup - Find duplicate photos and similar shots with on-device matching, including AI-assisted image similarity analysis on supported iOS versions. - Get a suggested photo to keep, with eligible extras already selected. - Delete duplicate photos and other selected extras together in one batch. - Find screenshots, large videos and potentially blurry photos. Sort by size or date. Photo and video compression Use the video compressor to create smaller copies of large videos with adjustable quality. Batch photo compression helps reduce photo file sizes, too. Compressed copies are saved while originals are kept by default. You can choose whether to delete the originals afterward. Keeping both copies does not reduce their combined storage use. On supported Apple devices, you can also convert Live Photos to still images. Free cleanup, optional Pro Photo and video deletion has no quantity limit and no ads. The free plan includes 3 video compressions, 20 photo compressions and 20 supported Live Photo conversions per month. CleanMate Pro removes compression allowances, includes duplicate-contact merging and removes the separate Gmail action allowance. Gmail organization is optional and uses Google authorization; you do not need Gmail to clean up photos. On-device analysis Photo, video and contact analysis takes place on your device. These files are not uploaded for scanning. Account, purchase and diagnostic services have separate network data flows. Gmail uses Google services when connected. Media deletion may require system confirmation and may first move items to Recently Deleted. Available storage can update after permanent removal. Results depend on your library. Subscription information Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your store account. A lifetime option is a one-time purchase.
