Google Photos and iCloud Photos

Chrome extension

Open photos.google.com or icloud.com in Chrome, click the Doppelgone icon and scan. The whole library is analysed in your browser, on your own computer. Close the popup any time: the scan keeps going.

  • Works with Google Photos and iCloud Photos. Switch accounts in Settings; Pro covers up to 3.
  • Removed photos wait in Google Photos' trash or iCloud's Recently Deleted for 30 days, with one-click Undo.
  • Apple doesn't count Recently Deleted, so iCloud storage drops straight away. Google frees the space once its trash is emptied, after 30 days or when you empty it.

Chrome on Windows, Mac, Linux or ChromeOS. Free from the Chrome Web Store.

How it works
1Scan on your device

Doppelgone looks through your Google Photos or iCloud Photos library in Chrome, or the photos on your PC, Mac or phone, and spots exact copies, retakes and bursts. Nothing is changed.

2Keep the best shot

In every set it keeps the photo where eyes are open, faces are sharp and the light is right. Tap any photo to keep it too.

3Clear the rest

Only what you approve moves to your library’s own trash (Google Photos’ trash, Recently Deleted, your phone’s trash or a Removed folder on your computer), where it stays for 30 days, so anything can go back.

Questions
Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Doppelgone analyses your photos on your own device: in Chrome, on your PC or Mac, or on your phone. To pick the best shot, only short text notes about each set of similar photos (such as “sharpest” or “eyes closed”) go to our server, with a one-way code for your account instead of your email. Never pictures, names, places or dates.

Can I get a photo back?

Yes. Everything goes to your library’s own trash first (Google Photos’ trash, Recently Deleted in iCloud or Apple Photos, your Android phone’s trash, or a Removed folder next to your photos on a computer) and stays there for 30 days. Undo a whole clean-up from Doppelgone, or restore single photos where they wait. With iCloud, Apple only restores photos while your iCloud storage isn’t full.

When do I get my storage back?

iCloud: straight away, because Apple doesn’t count Recently Deleted toward your storage. Google Photos: once its trash is emptied, which happens automatically after 30 days, or you can empty it yourself once you’re happy.

What doesn’t Doppelgone touch?

Favourites, photos with descriptions or captions, motion and Live Photos, videos, hidden photos and anything shared with you by someone else. Screenshots and edited photos are never suggested for removal, and sets it is less sure about are marked “Your call”, so you can check them before cleaning.

Is it made by Google or Apple?

No. Doppelgone is an independent product that works with Google Photos and iCloud Photos in your browser, and with the photos on your own computer and phone. Google Photos is a trademark of Google LLC; iCloud is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Which one do I need?

Go by where the photos are. Google Photos or iCloud Photos: the Chrome extension. Folders and drives on a computer (or Apple Photos on a Mac): the Windows or Mac app. The photos on a phone: the iPhone or Android app. One Pro licence covers up to 3 libraries across Chrome, your computers and Android; Pro bought in the iPhone app covers that iPhone.
