With this duplicate photo finder you can find duplicate photos and similar images by visual similarity comparing image content. Duplicate Image Finder "looks" at your photos to find similarities. Find look-alike and duplicate images in a folder, computer, network, or find duplicates in Adobe Lightroom. Organize photos by eliminating useless repeating pictures - save valuable disk space. Identify similar and duplicate photos even if they are edited, rotated, flipped, or color-corrected and stored in different file formats.
With Duplicate Image Finder you can scan your PC for duplicate JPG, GIF, JPEG, PSD, PNG, TIFF, BMP, RAW, HEIC, WEBP, AVIF, and other popular image formats. Delete duplicate photos in more than 300 RAW camera photo formats like CRW, CR2, CR3, NEF, and DNG. Due to its innovative and optimized algorithms, it is the fastest and the most precise duplicate photo finder on the market.
Finding visually similar images is a unique feature, but the duplicate photo finder is a professional tool and provides extra scan modes like "100% Identical Files", "File Size", "EXIF Date/Time", "Similar EXIF".
Visual Compare - Find Similar Images VSDIF uses advanced algorithms in order to compare images visually. This requires images to be loaded and analyzed and that is why we provide support for so many image formats. The precision and performance of VSDIF are unmatched - it provides the best results and performance and is limited only by the resources in your system.
You can set a "source" folder in order to exclude it from auto-check and preserve the items inside. There is a per-folder option "Exclude from self-scan" which denotes that the items inside that "source" folder will not be compared with each other - they will be compared only with items from the other folders in the list.

Are you trying to find the photo shoot to which an image belongs? Using the reverse image search feature will solve this problem instantly. The duplicate photo finder can search for single or multiple sample photos in your image libraries and find and list all pictures that are similar.
The tool provides a dedicated feature to search for similar and duplicate photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic. It does not install a separate adobe Lightroom duplicate finder plug-in. Simply select a Lightroom catalog (LRCAT) to be scanned for duplicates, and all the features of the application will be available. Deleting duplicate photos in Adobe Lightroom is extremely easy.
Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder works very well and accurately. The ability to visually find duplicate photos, rather than just by filename will be useful to anyone that saves multiple versions of a file and needs to find all of them. The Search by sample image option is especially useful.
Unlike traditional duplicate finders, this program `looks` at your images to determine whether they are duplicates or not and can find them even if the file name, format and size are different or the images have been rotated.
As a professional photographer, Duplicate Image Finder has become an indispensable tool in my workflow. It offers everything I need to not only identify and eliminate duplicate photos but also to efficiently organize and manage my extensive image library. The ability to search by sample within my own photo collection or to locate images with similar EXIF data is truly remarkable. Moreover, the feature for scanning Lightroom duplicates is incredibly valuable for someone like me who relies heavily on this software. What's more, the abundance of features and the option for a lifetime license come at an exceptionally affordable price point. I am truly grateful to MindGems for providing such a fantastic solution, and I will wholeheartedly recommend it to my fellow photographers without hesitation.
Note: Cache files store images information gathered during the preprocessing pass (1st pass) of the scanning process. So if you often scan the same images, using cache file speeds up the preprocessing pass significantly.
You don't need to create the cache file. Just specify it as a parameter and the program will create it. If a cache file from previous scan exists the program will use it.
Example: DupImageFinder.exe -src_list "c:\src.txt" -target_list "c:\target.txt" -log "c:\log.txt" -s 95 -db "c:\cachefolder\cachename"
If you are using the FULL Corporate version you should run DupImageFinderDP.exe in order to use the command line parameters, if you are evaluating the DEMO then you should use DupImageFinder.exe as displayed in the example above.
This will find all images with similarity >= 95% and save their file names and similarity in c:\log.txt file
Note: If some of the parameters contain spaces, you must enclose them in double quotes. Example: -src_list "c:\program files\images.txt"
I often need to determine if a given image is one of mine. This can be a very time-consuming task if the image has been stripped of its original file name and embedded metadata, as is often the case for images posted on blogs and social media sites.
As the name implies, this application searches for duplicate or similar images not by file name or metadata, but by visual similarity. It's like Google Image Search, but running on your own desktop, searching your own files.
The best ever software I have used for managing my photos is duplicate photo cleaner www.duplicatephotocleaner.com It pulls up all the photos in my folders that are similar not just the exact duplicates. I can view them side by side and decide which (if not both) to keep. Don't take my word for it, give it a try yourself, they have a free trial. This software has saved me over 4 gigs of space and counting.
I have tried each and every one of the software listed in the replies and the one you suggested is the only one that really does the better job in finding duplicates. Thanks so much for your post as it helped a lot to find a software that works very well. After reading your post, I spent a lot of time checking out the other software recommended with little success compared to this one. The others did a good job in their searches but were not able to find extensive similarities for a photo to the extend this one did. I am not sure of the support this company give but will see as I sent them a message asking a few questions. Their website is informative and helpful.
I totally agree that this software is the best I have used as well. However the customer service is 100% the worst I have ever encountered. Shortly before I rebuilt my PC with Windows 10 I verified the download link to the software I purchased from them worked. After rebuilding my PC from scratch (about 1 week after checking link to download software) I attempted to download the latest version of VSDIF 5.6.0.1 and I got the following message:
This is an old version that is no longer supported and no longer available for download.
If you have not unsubscribed from our mailing list then you have already been notified that this download will be discontinued and an upgrade discount for existing users was provided.
Please do not email the support with download requests as this file is removed from the system and the support team can no longer provide it.
I was positive that this was a mistake so I emailed support with confirmation of my purchase expecting then to send me a working link so I could re-download the software that I had purchased instead I got this response:
Somehow within 1 week they upgraded to a new major version and completely deleted all traces of version 5 software from their servers. I sent a few mails back and forth asking politely for them to provide me with a copy of the software I purchased from them with absolutely no luck at all. So as it stands now I am out of pocket $47.64 CAD and I am unable to find an archived copy of VSDIF 5.6.0.1 anywhere.
