Safe photo cleanup, right on your phone

Phone full of duplicates and extra shots? SmartCleanup finds them. You choose what to delete.

The app groups similar photos, keeps the best one, and shows how much space you can free up. Your photos never leave your phone, and nothing is deleted without your OK.

How it works

Clean up in 4 steps

The app finds, you review and decide. Deleted something by mistake? You can get it back.

  1. Open the app to scan

    Scanning starts as soon as you open the app. While your phone is charging, it keeps going in the background.

  2. Similar photos are grouped

    Every group keeps one photo: the sharpest, or the one you marked as a Favorite.

  3. You take a look

    Zoom in, or compare two photos side by side. Untick anything you want to keep.

  4. Delete, with a way back

    Deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted (iPhone) or Trash (Android 11 and later) for 30 days.

Android 10 and earlier have no trash for photos, so deleting is permanent. The app tells you before you confirm.

Safety

Rules the app always follows

0
photos sent anywhere. No servers, no account.
1
photo always kept in every group of similar photos.
24h
Photos taken in the last 24 hours are never pre-selected.
30
days to recover a deleted photo (iPhone and Android 11+).

What it finds

What's taking up space on your phone

Each item has a label that shows how sure the app is. Only "Pre-selected" items are ticked for you.

  • Pre-selectedThe app is sure, so these are ticked for you. You still review them, and nothing is deleted until you tap Delete.
  • SuggestedProbably not needed, but it’s your call. Never ticked for you.
  • Info onlyJust so you know, like large videos or old downloads. The app doesn’t suggest deleting them.

Duplicates

  • Identical photos and videosPre-selected

    The same file saved more than once. One copy is kept.

  • Copies of the same photoSuggested

Similar photos

  • Burst and back-to-back shotsPre-selected

Good to know before you start

  • iCloud photos are deleted everywhereWith iCloud Photos on, deleting on your iPhone also removes the photo from your iPad and Mac. The app reminds you first.
  • Empty the trash to free up spaceDeleted photos still take up space in Recently Deleted or Trash until you empty it.
  • Other apps' caches can't be clearediOS and Android don't allow it. On Android, the app shows which apps use the most cache.
  • "Suggested" items can be wrongFor look-alike photos, blurry shots and social videos, the app is making a guess. That's why they're never ticked for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos sent anywhere?

No. Everything happens on your phone. There are no servers and no account.

Does the app delete photos by itself?

No. It only makes suggestions. Photos are deleted only when you tap Delete and confirm.

Is it free?

Yes. The free version scans your whole phone, shows every suggestion, and lets you delete up to 5 items a day that you pick yourself. Exact duplicates don't count toward that limit. Pro removes the limit, selects suggested items for you across a whole category, and unlocks video compression. Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time purchase. There are no ads.

What if I delete something by mistake?

On iPhone, open Photos → Recently Deleted; photos stay there for 30 days. On Android 11 and later, they go to Trash. Android 10 and earlier have no trash, so deleted photos can't be recovered.

I deleted photos, so why is my storage still full?

They're still in Recently Deleted or Trash. Empty it and the space is freed right away.

Can I let the app see only some of my photos?

Yes. When the app asks for access, choose to allow only selected photos. The app will only see those.

Will it drain my battery?

Hardly. Heavy scanning only runs while charging, and the app pauses when the battery is low or the phone gets hot.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later, and Android phones and tablets with Android 7.1 or later. The app is available in English, Vietnamese and Japanese and follows your phone's language.
