PhotoSweep is a Chrome extension that helps you find duplicate and similar photos/videos in Google Photos™, then review Exact vs Similar groups before anything goes to Trash. Matching runs in your browser; it does not upload your library for analysis. Not affiliated with Google.
Hey Product Hunt — maker disclosure up front: I’m Mustafa from Pawsitive Games, and I built PhotoSweep.
I made it because cleaning Google Photos™ duplicates gets messy when “looks similar” and “exact duplicate” get mixed together. PhotoSweep keeps Exact and Similar in separate groups, runs matching in the browser (it does not upload your library for analysis), and asks you to review before anything goes to Trash.
Important honesty notes:
- Not affiliated with, created by, or endorsed by Google
- Matching is helpful, not perfect — please review before Trash
- Optional analytics are off until you Allow
- Optional Stripe license unlocks larger/full-library scans (not Chrome IAP)
I’m here for feedback more than anything: Is Exact vs Similar clear? Does the review-before-Trash flow feel safe? What’s confusing on first use?
Install / try via the Chrome Web Store link on the hunt. No upvote ask — honest notes on the workflow are enough.
