Finding duplicate pictures

Find duplicate images

A new feature of Duplicate Cleaner 3 is 'Image Mode'. You can now find similar pictures, and remove unwanted copies.

The type of situations dealt with are:


  • Resized: You've resized an image, and kept copies in different sizes.
  • Rotated: A picture has been rotated.
  • Flipped: A picture has been flipped or reversed.
  • Similar: You have two pictures with slight differences (ie took two shots with the camera, or you've done some editing)
  • Retouched: You've subtly altered brightness, contrast or colour on an image.

You can specify a percentage similarity when searching. It's worth experimenting with this till you get results you are happy with. Images are 'cached' during scans, so repeat searches (perhaps you've added a new folder to the search, or changed a setting) will be faster.

The new image preview tool really helps as well - this gives you a quick side-by-side comparison of pictures grouped by similarity.
