Duplicate Image Checker

Here is a very cool tool when it comes time to start cleaning out that hard drive, the Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder. Right off the bat, I like it. What does it do? It scans your images to find duplicates. It does this not just by name or size, but by actually analyzing the image. I tried it in a temp folder that I use on a regular basis, and found four duplicates. Not bad considering the folder only had about twenty files, and a couple of folders. Best part was, they were indeed duplicates that I could delete.
Scanning Documents
Before and after the scan you get a few choices besides just looking for duplicates. You can scan for images by dimensions, files size, both dimension and files size, and by date. Within those choices you can set the method of scanning for either visual or identical CRC32 Checksum. After the scanning is completed, you can then select to delete the duplicates or move the duplicates.
Download the Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder
The software is a small package so download and install are quick. Using it is very intuitive. To make my first scan from landing on the download page took about two minutes. Not bad for never seeing this software before. Oh, and did I mention free download?

I have to admit Rob – I do love your blog!
This would be very useful to myself… I know that I constantly back-up way too much information due to duplicates! It’s just been easier to do that than fear the loss of a valuable file – trust me – I’ve regreted a few deletions I’ve made over time.
Glad you love the blog. I did learn a long time ago to keep items in the trash can for a while before emptying. I have made a few mistakes along the way as well in regards to deleting.
Just found a bunch more ready for the delete button. I have some seriously old messy archives going on.
hmm .. i don’t really have duplicates on my hdd. my storage space is 80gb .. guess i’m more carefull with the space on my hdd .. maybe it’s also because i don’t download to many songs and images ..
