PhotoSweep – Duplicate Cleaner

Reclaim phone storage and organize your photo collection safely with PhotoSweep – the intelligent on-device duplicate cleaner for Android. Over time, photo galleries become cluttered with identical copies, camera burst takes, repeated WhatsApp downloads, and re-compressed shared pictures. PhotoSweep helps you discover genuinely duplicated and visually similar photos, compare them side-by-side, and delete unneeded copies while guaranteeing that your favorite shot remains 100% safe. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES & ADVANTAGES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 1. CRYPTOGRAPHIC EXACT DUPLICATE DETECTION PhotoSweep doesn't just guess by filename or file size. It computes cryptographic SHA-256 content hashes to detect true byte-identical duplicates across different albums, folders, and storage directories with zero false positives. 🖼️ 2. PERCEPTUAL VISUAL SIMILARITY & BURST CLEANING Took ten shots of the same pose or landscape? PhotoSweep's perceptual dHash algorithm groups visually similar photos and camera bursts together. It intelligently recommends the "Best Shot" based on resolution, clarity, and timestamp so you can keep the winner and remove the rest. 🔒 3. REASSURING SAFETY: ZERO ACCIDENTAL LOSS • Guaranteed "Keep Original" Invariant: Every duplicate group designates at least one photo as "KEEP". You can never accidentally delete all copies of a photo. • Two-Step Deletion Flow: Review your selections in a transparent confirmation summary before anything happens. • Full User Authority: Switch keeper designations or deselect items anytime with a single tap. 🛡️ 4. OFFICIAL ANDROID SYSTEM DELETION CONSENT PhotoSweep strictly adheres to modern Android Scoped Storage security standards (Android 11 through Android 15/17). No photos are ever deleted silently or in the background. Android's official system confirmation dialog ensures you maintain total control. 🔍 5. SIDE-BY-SIDE HIGH-RESOLUTION COMPARISON Inspect photos with intuitive pinch-to-zoom and compare resolutions, capture dates, and file sizes before making decisions. 📱 6. 100% PRIVATE & ON-DEVICE Your memories are personal. PhotoSweep runs all detection algorithms completely on your device. Zero photos, thumbnails, filenames, or personal metadata are ever uploaded to cloud servers or third parties. 📊 7. DETAILED STORAGE INSIGHTS & HISTORY See exactly how much space you can recover before you clean. Track past scan statistics and reclaimed megabytes over time. 🎨 8. MODERN MATERIAL 3 DESIGN Enjoy a clean, fast dark-themed interface built for speed and battery efficiency. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PERMISSIONS & TRANSPARENCY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Photos and Videos (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES on Android 13+ / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on Android 12 & below): Required solely to analyze local gallery photos for duplicate detection. • Internet & Network State: Required solely to deliver non-intrusive Google AdMob advertisements and support Google Play rating actions. • Zero Background Tracking: PhotoSweep does not run background services when you are not actively using the app.
