Key Features
Original aspect ratios
Portrait, landscape, and square photos stay visually distinct while you compare them.
Switch batches or view all
Review a fresh batch, open every similar group, or start filtering from a chosen point in time.
Processed groups stay out of the way
Kept photos are marked after cleanup so the same group does not keep reappearing.
Duplicate vs. Similar Photos
Duplicate photos are nearly identical copies and can usually be merged directly. Similar photos are separate shots of the same scene, with differences in framing, expression, focus, or clarity, so they should be compared before cleanup.

Similar Photo Cleaner FAQ
Does LessPhoto delete similar photos automatically?
No. LessPhoto preselects redundant shots, but you can change the selection and must confirm cleanup.
What is the difference between similar and duplicate photos?
Duplicates are matching files or images. Similar photos are separate shots that look alike, such as a short burst or repeated composition.
What if one group contains many photos?
You can review the group in smaller, manageable decisions instead of approving one large automatic deletion.
Are my photos uploaded for comparison?
No. Similar-photo analysis is performed on your iPhone.
