Frequently asked questions.

General

Is Free AI Photo Cleaner really free?+

Yes. Every cleaning feature and the TikTok downloader are free to use. The app is supported by ads rather than a subscription.

Do I need an account to use the app?+

No. Open the app and start scanning right away — no sign-up or login required.

Which Android versions are supported?+

Android 8.0 and above.

Permissions & Data Safety

Why does the app need photo and video access?+

READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions let the app scan your gallery to find duplicates, blur, screenshots, and large files. Without this access, the app can't function.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?+

No. Duplicate and blur detection run entirely on your device using on-device image analysis. Your photos are never sent to our servers.

What data does the app collect for ads and analytics?+

We use Google AdMob for ads and Google Analytics for aggregate usage data. Full details, including what AdMob may collect, are in our Privacy Policy.

Can I opt out of personalized ads?+

Yes, through your device's Google Settings → Ads menu, where you can limit ad personalization or reset your advertising ID.

TikTok Downloader

Does the TikTok downloader work for private videos?+

No. It only works for publicly available TikTok videos, consistent with TikTok's Terms of Service.

Where are downloaded videos saved?+

Downloaded videos are saved locally to your device's storage — we don't keep copies on our servers.

Am I responsible for the content I download?+

Yes. The downloader is intended for personal use of publicly available content — you're responsible for complying with TikTok's terms and applicable copyright law.

Cleanup & Storage

Can I undo a cleanup?+

The app shows exactly what will be removed before you confirm, so review carefully — once you confirm deletion, files are removed from your device.

How does duplicate detection work?+

The app compares photos for near-identical similarity, not just exact file matches, so it catches burst shots and re-saves too.
