When cleanup gets risky

Use Photo Cleaner when the camera roll is too large to clean by memory alone.

iPhone storage is almost full

Surface screenshots, screen recordings, large videos, and low-value duplicates before you start deleting.

Duplicates look too similar

Group near-duplicates and blurry shots so you can compare before keeping or removing anything.

You need review checkpoints

Smart Select can speed up cleanup, but final deletion still goes through review and the Photos delete flow.

You do not want photo uploads

Analysis runs locally by default, without sending your library to a server for cleanup suggestions.
