Finds duplicates, and the shots that only look alike

Exact copies are the easy part. Pristo also catches near-identical photos, then lets you decide how strict the matching should be.

  • Exact duplicates

    Identical copies, however many there are, so the extras are easy to clear without second-guessing.

  • Similar shots, not just pixel clones

    Bursts and lookalikes, including cropped, resized or re-saved versions, with the sharpest one suggested as the keeper.

  • Matching you can tune

    Pick Conservative, Balanced or Aggressive, or set your own level when you want photos to group more or less loosely.

  • Groups you can trust

    Matches are kept tight, so unrelated photos don’t quietly end up in the same group.

Matching settings with Conservative, Balanced and Aggressive presets.
Set matching from strict to loose and see the groups change.

Built for how you actually shoot

Phone cameras produce bursts, screenshots and the occasional disaster frame. Pristo knows the difference.

  • Burst grouping

    Rapid-fire shots are grouped automatically, so you review a burst as one set instead of a scattered pile.

  • Screenshots, found

    The screenshots you took once and never looked at again get their own list.

  • Blurry and unusable photos

    Blurry, dark and pocket shots surface on their own, apart from the photos that deserve a real decision.

  • iPhone photos and camera RAW

    HEIC works as-is. RAW files sit alongside your everyday photos, and when a RAW and its JPG are both there, Pristo keeps the RAW by default.

Burst and screenshot groups, separated from blurry and low-quality photos.
Bursts, screenshots and unusable frames, each in their own place.

Works with your whole library, in your language

Broad format support and a full translation, not just the basics.

18 photo formats

Everyday formats (JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP and BMP) plus camera RAW from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax and Fujifilm, and Adobe’s DNG. Your camera library gets the same cleanup as your phone.

Available in 10 languages

English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (including Brazilian Portuguese), Russian, and Chinese (Simplified). Switch anytime in Settings.

Unlimited scanning

Scan as often as you like, and see every group Pristo finds before you ever pay.

Several drives at once

Scan your main library alongside an external drive and still keep the right copy.

Cloud folders, handled

Files that only live in OneDrive, Google Drive or iCloud are skipped rather than downloaded, unless you ask for them.

Nothing gets deleted without you

Pristo never deletes on its own judgment. Every removal is one you’ve seen and approved.

  • Preview before anything moves

    See the whole cleanup plan first: what would go, and why.

  • Swipe to review

    Flip through each group and swipe to keep or delete, or pick from a grid.

  • Protect what matters

    Mark a photo once and it stays off the list in every later scan.

  • Trash first, always

    Deleted photos go to the trash first, so a change of heart doesn’t mean a lost photo.

  • Runs on your device

    Scanning, matching and cleanup all happen on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.

Your photos. Your call. Every time.

Birthdays, trips and ordinary days you’d never get back shouldn’t hinge on software guessing. Pristo thins the clutter and leaves the final call to you.
