    Good free app for finding and removing duplicate photos?


    I'm trying to weed through my photo library that was a mashup of all the images I ever took with any of my cellphones (minus a dark time where I thought the phone saved images to the SD card and didn't realize it didn't until after I wiped it to sell). I used photo sifter to remove bad photos, but I saw that I had a lot of duplicates from images being backed up to a cloud service then having that cloud service collection added to my photo library. Some images seem to have been resized and cropped

    What is a good free program that can identify all of the duplicate images and remove them, even if the file name and format has changed and they have been cropped or downsized?

    Thanks

    Duplicate file finder scanned the entire photo library and didn't find a single duplicate image even when i am literally looking at them, and SimilarImagesFinder was blocked by smartscreen then proceeded to demand administrative privileges even when running as a portable app and overall seems exceedingly sketchy.

    Thank you, but I think I'll look elsewhere for help

    There's nothing dodgy about it.

    VirusTotal

    It does need (Right click> Choose run as administrator) which is not unusual.

    Test:

    A folder of sample images with one of them copied, resized then cropped.

    1st image:

    2nd image (copied/ resized/ cropped)

    Good free app for finding and removing duplicate photos?-image-4-copy.jpg

    Run Image Finder on that folder (you can add as many folders to include subfolders as you like)

    Result:

    And it doesn't do Nikon or Sony RAW files or even Adobe DNG.

    This one seems good and supports all those formats: Duplicate Image Finder - Find and Remove Duplicate Photos
    not free though.

    They have a free duplicate finder too, but it can not find similar images only exact duplicates, but it has internal preview and is useful for images too:
