Duplicate photo finder

Scan photos for byte identical duplicates by SHA-256 and optional look alikes by a 64 bit dHash, then export a report and a delete list.

Drop photos to scan

JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, HEIC, AVIF, RAW · Up to 5,000 photos, 100 megapixels each · stays on your device

Photos you exported from iCloud, iCloud for Windows, or an Apple data archive all work. The scan runs in this tab and nothing is uploaded.

Exact matches are confirmed by SHA-256 after a cheap size pre-group, so files with a size no other file shares are never hashed. Look alikes compare 64-bit dHash fingerprints from a 9 by 8 greyscale downscale, chained so a burst of similar shots lands in one group. This tool never deletes anything: it writes a files to delete.txt for you to finish the job in Finder, Files, or your iCloud library. Capture dates are not read here, so the keep suggestion ranks by pixel count and then path length. Formats your browser cannot decode (HEIC in some browsers, RAW files) still get the exact byte comparison, just no look alike check.
