I know several reasons of why I would want to delete duplicate pics: space, multiple images made from different angles and the most disturbing - same image present in 2-3-4 folders on the same hard drive. You have to understand how this tool works before any experiment takes place. Important: Make sure that you backup your files and test the program on a small folder with just a few files.

Note: This app uses ImageMagick (great app to manipulate most popular image formats) libraries to load pictures. Although this program was made exclusively for Windows users, various other reviews claimed that the program runs great on Linux using Wine. According to the author, the software has been tested with 100.000 pictures with a size of 15 GB and the results were available in approximately 3 hours.Īnother advantage is the ability to delete duplicate files while the program is scanning for them - you don't have to wait to finish the scan.

This software will work with most major formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PCX, TIFF, TGA and RAW images. The program has other features such as a unignore, unselect (deselect), ignore the folders or files. You can find duplicate images using three different filters: (1) Strict (will return almost identical results - the image is the same or slightly different), (2) Basic and (3) Loose (with much more differences).Īdditionally, you can also use the 'Auto-Select' feature which will mark images with smaller, uncompressed, lower resolution copies as duplicates. VisiPics is a tiny, free application for Windows that will search for duplicate photos.
