Duplicate photo finder

Post by ge_rik » Fri Jan 07, 2022 9:45 am

Just wanted to let you know about a freebie program I've discovered with the unlikely title of Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder
https://www.duplicate-finder.com/photo.html

I've tried a couple of these products in the past and they were too complicated or/and they were painfully slow. This is very uncomplicated and surprisingly fast. It scanned the folder on a 1Tb external hardrive containing over 45000 photos in less than an hour and found 1600 photos which were similar (or you can set it to find exact matches only). It doesn't have a bulk delete option which might put some people off, but has a very clear and quick way of allowing you to view each similar photo to decide which of the pair you want to delete (or not). It didn't take me long to review the 1600 photos - releasing 4Gb on the hard drive.

I checked the download for viruses and malware, and it was clean - and it doesn't load any unwanted stuff either.
