Find duplicates and similar shots
File hashes, perceptual features, and capture timing identify exact duplicates, similar photos, and bursts while keeping exact duplicates out of similar groups.
On-device photo care for iPhone
PhotoSure
Review first. Clean with confidence. Analyze your library on your iPhone, understand every candidate, and decide what to keep, protect, or remove.
- On-device analysis
- Review before deletion
- No ads or cross-app tracking
Clarity without cleanup anxiety
Turn a crowded library into decisions you can verify
PhotoSure measures and groups real media before presenting cleanup candidates. Results are recommendations. The app never deletes photos or videos on your behalf.
Understand what uses space
PhotoSure measures locally available photos and videos, then shows cleanup capacity by category. Items unavailable on this iPhone are clearly identified.
Keep the final decision yours
A recommended keep is only a reversible suggestion. Your cleanup set is summarized again before Apple Photos presents its final system confirmation.
Eight real analysis stages

Privacy boundaries in the current release
Your library does not need to leave your phone
Photo analysis, review decisions, and Privacy Space operations happen on device. The current release contains no advertising or third-party analytics SDKs.
- Photos and videos
- Never uploaded to a PhotoSure server. The app reads only items allowed by your Apple Photos permission.
- Analysis data
- Hashes, visual features, quality metrics, selections, and history stay in the app's local container.
- Privacy Space
- Creates AES-GCM encrypted local copies protected by a device-bound key in iOS Keychain.
- Your controls
- Cancel analysis, change selections, remove protected copies, or adjust permissions in iOS Settings.
Frequently asked questions
About your photos and deletion
Does PhotoSure automatically delete photos?
No. Analysis only creates candidates. You select items, inspect the cleanup set, and then approve the Apple Photos system deletion prompt.
Why are some iCloud photos unavailable?
The current release processes locally available resources and does not automatically download iCloud originals. An offline item stays unselected and is reported as unavailable.
Is Privacy Space a backup?
No. Privacy Space stores an encrypted copy inside this app's container on the current device. Keep a separate backup of important media. Removing the app, its data, or its device-bound key may make protected copies unrecoverable.
