How to Remove Duplicate and Similar Photos with PhotoBase Cleaner
If your photo library is packed with identical or nearly identical images, you’re not alone. Duplicate and similar photos are some of the biggest culprits behind wasted storage. Here's how PhotoBase Cleaner can help you effortlessly identify and clean them up.
Why Remove Duplicates and Similar Photos?
Over time, your photo library accumulates clutter—think burst shots, repeated selfies, or near-identical vacation snaps. These extras do more harm than you might think:
- Wasted Space: Duplicates can consume gigabytes of unnecessary storage.
- Backup Bloat: Backups take longer and cost more cloud storage.
- Photo Fatigue: It’s harder to find the one shot that actually matters.
How to Remove Duplicate Photos
PhotoBase Cleaner offers a simple way to identify and eliminate exact duplicates:
- Download and open PhotoBase Cleaner.
- Allow access to your photo library when prompted.
- Select “Duplicates.”
- Review matches—identical files, regardless of location or album.
- Tap "Trash" to remove them safely.
How to Clean Up Similar Photos
Similar photos aren’t exactly duplicates—they're slightly different angles, lighting, or bursts. Here's how to clean them:
- Open PhotoBase Cleaner and choose "Similar Photos."
- Let the AI group similar-looking photos together.
- Swipe through each group and select your favorite.
- Tap "Trash" to remove the extras, keeping only the best.
