PicDeDupe: Smart Photo Cleaner

Clean your photo library smarter with faster scans, keeper recommendations, cleanup trends, and private on-device insights.

Reclaim gigabytes of iPhone storage in seconds.

PicDeDupe is the fastest, most private way to clean your Photos library. Powered by on-device AI, it finds duplicate photos, near-duplicates, blurry shots, and oversized videos — then helps you delete the right ones, safely, without ever sending a single pixel off your device.

WHY PICDEDUPE

• 100% on-device. Your photos never touch a server. No cloud uploads, no account, no tracking, no ads. • Smart AI Scan combines perceptual hashing, Apple's Vision framework, and on-device quality scoring to catch duplicates that other apps miss — including bursts, slightly cropped copies, and re-saved versions. • Sharpness-aware: when the AI finds duplicates, it automatically picks the best shot to keep based on focus, exposure, and composition. • Confirm-before-delete with a "recently freed" log so you stay in control. Nothing is removed without your tap.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap Scan. PicDeDupe analyzes your full photo and video library on device using Apple's Photos framework.
2. Review duplicate sets one card at a time, or browse all sets at once. The recommended keeper is highlighted; swap it with one tap.
3. Delete with confidence. Removed items go to Recently Deleted in Photos for 30 days, just like Apple's own delete flow — fully recoverable.

WHAT YOU CAN CLEAN

• Exact duplicate photos • Near-duplicate bursts and similar shots • Blurry, low-quality images flagged by on-device analysis • Oversized videos eating your storage (sortable by size) • Long videos you may have forgotten about

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY

PicDeDupe is built around a hard rule: your photo data never leaves your device. All analysis — perceptual hashing, Vision feature-prints, quality scoring, and AI summaries — runs locally on your iPhone using Apple's on-device frameworks. We collect no analytics, embed no third-party tracking SDKs, and require no account to use the app. Our App Privacy declaration ("Data Not Collected") is filed with Apple.

THREE SENSITIVITY LEVELS

Choose the matching style that fits how you shoot: • Strict — only flag near-pixel-identical copies. Best for archives. • Normal — recommended default. Catches obvious duplicates and bursts. • Loose — most aggressive. Surfaces visually similar shots across days.

DESIGNED FOR IOS 18 AND BEYOND

• Built natively in SwiftUI for fluid scrolling and instant gestures. • Uses Apple's BackgroundTasks framework to refresh duplicate scans while you sleep, so the app is ready when you open it. • On iOS 26, an optional on-device Foundation Models summary gives you a one-line recap of what's safe to clean — no pixel data is sent to the model, only aggregate counts. • Wi-Fi-only mode prevents any iCloud Photos download from running on cellular while scanning.

SAFE BY DESIGN

• Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation. • A "Recently Freed" counter shows exactly how much you've reclaimed. • Library change detection prompts a rescan only when your photos actually change — no busywork.
