Groups of duplicate photo thumbnails with one marked as the suggested keeperExample result
Try an example:

Choose a folder or a pile of photos and get them back in groups — exact copies, the same photo saved again at another size or quality, and, if you like, near-identical shots — with a suggested keeper in each group and a list you can export.

Exact copies and near copies

Exact copies are the same bytes under different names — a photo downloaded twice, or copied to a second folder. Each file's SHA-256 fingerprint finds those with certainty.

Near copies are the same picture saved again: the WhatsApp version of a camera photo, a resized upload, a PNG export of a JPEG. Their bytes differ, so each photo also gets two 64-bit perceptual hashes from a small working copy; photos whose hashes are within a few bits of each other are grouped. The Strict, Normal and Loose settings move that limit.

Similar shots, if you want them

Bursts and “one more just in case” shots are not copies, but you may still want to keep only one. The optional similar-shot pass runs the small visual-content model this site already uses for image similarity, on this device, and groups photos whose content is very close. It is off until you ask, and the model is downloaded once.

Read-only on purpose

Nothing is deleted, moved or renamed — the browser only reads the files you chose. Each group marks a suggested keeper (the largest, then the sharpest) as a suggestion; pick any two photos to compare them in full, then export the CSV list and tidy up in your own file manager with the list beside you.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is the difference between exact and near duplicates?

Exact duplicates are byte-for-byte the same file. Near duplicates are the same picture saved differently — resized, recompressed or lightly edited — found by comparing perceptual hashes rather than bytes.

Does it delete my photos?

No. It only reads them. It shows the groups, suggests a keeper and exports a CSV list; deleting is left to you.

How many photos can it check?

Up to 2,000 at a time on a computer and 300 on a phone. Reading can be paused, resumed or stopped, and the groups are shown for whatever has been read.
