Your privacy is safe when you contact us. Photo Cleaner AI processes everything on your device, so we never have access to your photos — and we'll never ask you to send them to us.

Troubleshooting

Common issues

The scan doesn't find any photos

Make sure the app has permission to access your photo library. On iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → Photo Cleaner AI → Full Access. On Android: Settings → Apps → Photo Cleaner AI → Permissions → Photos and videos → Allow.

Deleted photos are still taking up space

On iOS, deleted photos move to the "Recently Deleted" album for 30 days. Open Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted and empty it to reclaim the space immediately. Android devices with a Trash/Bin folder in Google Photos or the Gallery app work the same way.

The scan is slow on my device

The first scan analyzes your whole library on-device and can take a few minutes for very large libraries (20,000+ photos). Later scans only process new photos and are much faster. Keeping the app in the foreground during the first scan helps.

My purchase isn't showing up

Use "Restore Purchases" in the app's Settings tab. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID / Google account you used to buy Premium. If it still doesn't appear, email us with your order receipt.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. All scanning and analysis happens entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and the app works without an account or internet connection.

Can the app delete photos without asking me?

Never. You review every group before cleanup, and deletion only happens after you explicitly confirm. The best photo in each group is pre-selected to keep, not delete.

What can I do for free?

The free version includes the full library scan, similar photo detection, burst photos, screenshots, large videos, and storage analytics. Premium adds unlimited cleanup, AI Best Shot, blurry photo detection, smart categories, and one-tap cleanup.

How does the app pick the "best" photo in a group?

It scores each photo on sharpness, brightness, resolution, and the number of faces detected, then stars the highest-scoring shot. You can always override the choice.

Does it work with large libraries?

Yes — the app is built for libraries with 20,000+ photos. Scanning runs efficiently on-device and shows progress as it finds recoverable space.

Which platforms are supported?

Photo Cleaner AI is available for both iOS and Android.
