FAQ
Common questions
How is Snapsift different from the built-in Duplicates album?
The built-in Duplicates album only finds exact pixel-identical copies. Snapsift uses AI visual comparison to find photos that look similar but are not file-identical, like five shots of the same sunset or burst photos from the same moment.
Does Snapsift upload my photos anywhere?
No. Every scan runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's Vision framework. Zero network calls, zero cloud processing. Your photos never leave your device.
How long does a scan take?
About 60 seconds for a typical library of 3,000-5,000 photos. Larger libraries may take a bit longer.
What happens when I delete photos through Snapsift?
Deleted photos go to the Recently Deleted album in your Photos app, where they stay for 30 days before permanent removal. You can restore them anytime during that window.
Is Snapsift really free?
Yes. You can scan your entire library and delete up to 15 photos per month for free. Snapsift Pro unlocks unlimited cleanup for $19.99/year, $3.99/month, or $39.99 lifetime.
Why is the Apple Photos Duplicates album not showing on my iPhone?
The Duplicates album only appears when iOS has found exact duplicates. Your iPhone needs to be locked and charging to complete indexing. If you use Optimize iPhone Storage, the scan may not work on lower-resolution local copies.
