Filter by blurry photos, people, camera models, places, and potential space savings, or include and exclude specific albums.\n- Compare & Choose: Compare duplicate and similar photos side by side and zoom in to choose what to keep.\n- Protect Favorites: Your favorites are kept when you clean Duplicates and Similar. A duplicate group with several favorites keeps one copy.\n- Hidden Groups: Review hidden duplicate and similar groups in Settings and restore the ones you choose.\n- Large Cleanups: Enjoy faster browsing and selection, with the option to delete selected items all at once or in smaller batches.\n\n2) Organize Gallery\n- Quickly sort unsorted photos and videos into specific albums.\n- Sort your custom albums by size, name, or item count.

Live Photo size targets account for both the photo and video.\n- Shrink Live Photo: Remove the video component to keep a still image and save space, or remove the photo component to keep only the video.\n- Spatial Media: Compress supported spatial photos while retaining their spatial content, or convert spatial photos and videos into regular media.\n\n4) AI Magic Eraser\n- Remove unwanted people, objects, or background elements from photos with our advanced Magic Eraser, giving your photos a clean, professional look effortlessly.\n\n5) Smart Utilities\n- Photo & Video Viewer: Enjoy immersive viewing and detailed media information. Skip 5 seconds or hold to play videos at 2× speed.\n- Photo Editing: Crop, rotate, adjust, and add text directly from the viewer. Save a copy or replace the original photo.\n- Sharing: Share selected photos and videos directly from your library.\n- Storage Monitor: Check storage of all your albums from the side menu.\n- Home Widgets: Add widgets to monitor album storage.\n- Private Album: Keep your sensitive photos and videos safely locked away in a secure folder.\n\n◎ Privacy-First: 100% Local Cleanup\nYou don't need an internet connection to use Cleansmith because it works 100% offline on your phone.
