You will be able to see thumbnails of every duplicate photo and the metadata. If it detects duplicates, you can click “Display Result” to choose which duplicates to remove.Ĭlick “Auto Select All” to automagically select all duplicate photos and keep the original photo. Once you’ve added all of the locations you want to scan, just click “Look for duplicates”. This is useful if you’re only removing duplicate photos to free up more disk space and don’t want to bother with smaller photo sizes. You’ll also see scanning rules which allow you to only scan photo files larger than a certain file size. We suggest “Move duplicates to Trash” just in case you accidently remove duplicates you might want to recover.

You can also choose to automatically move deleted files to the trash or to permanently delete them automatically. If you’ve moved the location of your photos, iphoto, or photo booth libraries, you can select the settings icon on the bottom or navigate to the top menu Duplicate photos Cleaner -> Preferences.įrom here you can edit/change the location of your libraries. Scan your iPhoto, Photo Booth, and Photos Libraries for duplicates by adding them from the icons on the bottom left (*please remember to close Photos/iPhoto applications when scanning). Just drag & drop any folder to find all your duplicates. Renaming a file does not change the file contents, so Duplicate File Cleaner will still find all duplicates even if they are named differently. Only TRUE and EXACT duplicates with the same hash value. Duplicate Photo Cleaner does not remove similar photos. So if the contents of the file are changed in anyway, then it is no longer a legitimate duplicate since the hash values are different.

This means that it finds all duplicate photos by looking at the actual HASH value. We use a true SHA-1 checksum file compare to ACCURATELY find legitimate duplicates.
