What is Cleanup.ai?
Cleanup.ai is an AI-powered tool designed to clean up and optimise design files and digital assets. It helps designers and creative teams remove unnecessary elements, reduce file sizes, and improve asset organisation without manual editing. The tool is particularly useful for those working with large design systems, asset libraries, or complex project files that have accumulated redundant layers, unused components, or bloated exports over time. By automating the cleanup process, it saves considerable time on file maintenance and preparation for handoff to development teams or clients.
Key Features
Automatic detection and removal of unused layers and components in design files
File size optimisation to reduce asset weights without quality loss
Asset library organisation and deduplication across multiple files
Batch processing for cleaning multiple files at once
Export optimisation for web and mobile delivery
Integration with common design tools and workflows
