Apple's built-in Duplicates album only catches photos that are byte-for-byte identical. That misses the bursts, the "3-second-later" shots, and the almost-the-same-angle frames eating most of your storage.
162.2k+ people search for this every month. SwipePhotos is built specifically for what they’re trying to do.
SwipePhotos uses on-device ML to find visually-similar photos — not just byte-identical ones. Smart Stack groups them, you tap the keepers, the rest goes to Recently Deleted.
Read-only at first. Nothing is moved until you confirm.
Decades of clutter are easier to clear when you can see the year.
Smart Stack pops up automatically for bursts and look-alikes.
Everything is reversible for 30 days inside Apple Photos.
First 10 photos free — no card. Then €2.99/month or €19.99/year. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. No ads, no “Pro” tier, no time-gated unlocks.
Yes — iOS 16 added a Duplicates album under Photos > Albums > Utilities. It only flags photos that are byte-for-byte identical, though, which misses bursts, near-duplicates, and almost-the-same-angle shots. SwipePhotos catches all of those using on-device similarity matching.
Yes — Apple Photos and iCloud Photos are a single library. Anything you delete on iPhone is moved to the Recently Deleted album, which syncs across all your devices. After 30 days it's permanently removed and your iCloud storage drops accordingly.
Only if it processes photos on-device. Apps that upload your library to a server raise real privacy and bandwidth concerns. SwipePhotos runs every comparison locally — your photos never touch our servers. Deletions go to Apple's Recently Deleted, so anything you remove can be restored for 30 days.
Free to try. From €2.99/month or €19.99/year. Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. 100% on-device.
