FREEWARE duplicate file finder

50Twuncle

I am trying to sort through my 1000's of .jpg image files - to get rid of duplicates
I have tried several utilities (including Duplicate cleaner free) - and cannot find any that will sort out image files - they do documents and sound files - but need upgrading to deal with image files !

Any suggestions ?

that

if the duplicate sort criteria is name, or content for duplicates, then i would use Searchmyfiles from nirsoft

Didn't Picasa dedupe photos? No longer supported but still available afaik

No - they are just named using numbers and several are identical with different numbers
From scans !

If you have any problems with Picassa, Ccleaner has a Duplicate Finder if you look under Tools.

Unless you particularly want to search the whole of your HDD you can narrow down your search by Name, Size, Modifies Date and/or Content and even by an individual drive or folder.

Best to back-up the relevant files/folder first before removing any so-called duplicates just to be on the safe side.

Thanks - but Ccleaner only works on file names - rather than image content and properties

You can actually choose the location and file type...

that

Searchmyfiles will search for duplicate content. It can search across multiple drives, partitions, and paths. It also searches subfolders if you wish, even if they have a different name

Ccleaner does not search on actual image - just image name and file size

If you have two totally identical .jpgs - with different names - it will not delete one of them
but if you have two different .jpgs with identical names - it will
My problem is the former !!
