Already in your photo library?

Find folder photos already in your photo library — safely delete local copies and reclaim disk space.
Wondering which photos in your Downloads folder are already in your Apple Photos library? PosCleaner answers that question with confidence so you can reclaim disk space safely.
Point it at a folder — a Google Takeout export, an iCloud archive, anything — and PosCleaner matches every image against your Apple Photos library using Apple's MobileCLIP-S1 vision model. Matches survive re-encoding, downscaling, format conversion (HEIC ↔ JPEG), and EXIF rotation. The result is a clear binary: each file is either already in Photos (safe to delete from your computer) or not in Photos (you decide what to do with it).
Designed for the moment after you've imported a giant archive and you don't trust filename-based deduplication.
FEATURES
• Visual matching via Apple's MobileCLIP-S1, running on-device through the Neural Engine
• Surfaces matches even when filenames, timestamps, or formats differ from the Photos library original
• One-click import for files that aren't yet in Photos (Copy or Move modes)
• Move source files to Trash after confirming matches — recoverable from Finder
• Companion scanners: large+old files, duplicates, junk files, applications, disk-space map
PRIVACY
• 100% local. No photos or metadata leave your Mac.
• No telemetry, no analytics, no ads.
• Photos library access (read-write) is required for matching and import; folder access uses macOS's standard file-picker permission.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• macOS 14 or later (Sonoma+)
• Apple silicon recommended (model runs faster on Neural Engine)
• Photos library access permission
