CleanX: Swipe Photo Cleaner technology editorial cover without people

Begin with the clearest redundancy

Exact duplicates are a different cleanup problem from burst photos or near-identical compositions.

Move to similarity when ready for judgment

Similar-shot groups benefit from human review because small differences in expression, focus, or framing can matter.

Keep deletion separate from detection

CleanX reports what it finds but does not automatically remove media; deletion still requires confirmation.
