CleanCopy

Terms of use

Last updated: 5 November 2026

By using CleanCopy you agree to these terms. They add to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), which applies to the app.

  1. What the app does. CleanCopy removes metadata from photos and saves a new copy, and optionally helps you find and delete duplicate, similar and blurry photos in your library. It reports what it removed and what it checked. It can also read a PDF, report what the file carries and, if you choose, make a cleaned copy of it. A cleaned PDF is not redaction: the text, names and pictures on its pages stay, and photos inside a PDF are reported without removing their details in this version. CleanCopy does not remove anything built into the pixels of a picture (for example invisible watermarks), and it cannot change what a platform learns or detects in other ways.
  2. Your responsibility. You are responsible for the photos you clean and for what you do with the copies, including any duty to disclose that content is AI-generated or edited. Platforms and laws may require this even after metadata is removed. Do not use CleanCopy to break a law, a platform's rules, or someone else's rights.
  3. Deleting photos. The Library tab deletes only photos you select and confirm. Deleted photos go to Recently Deleted for a limited time, and with iCloud Photos on they are deleted on all your devices. You are responsible for checking a selection before you confirm it.
  4. No guarantee. CleanCopy is provided "as is". We do not promise that a copy will be accepted, unlabelled or undetected anywhere, or that groups found by the Library tab are exact, or that a PDF report lists everything the file carries ("not found" means not found in the places CleanCopy checks). To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss of photos or data.
  5. Free use. Looking at what a photo, video or PDF carries, and the history, are free. Cleaning is free for 5 photos per calendar month, shared by the app, the Share sheet and Shortcuts; the allowance restarts on the 1st of each month.
  6. Purchases and subscription. CleanCopy Pro is sold through the App Store in two plans: Yearly, US$3.99 a year, an auto-renewing subscription; and Lifetime, US$12.99, one payment with no renewal. Prices are US prices; the App Store shows the price in your currency. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The Yearly subscription renews automatically every year at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel the subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings; cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep Pro until the current period ends. People who bought CleanCopy Pro before these plans keep Pro for good at no extra charge. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Restore Purchases is in Settings.
  7. Changes. We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept it.
