A low percentage usually means two similar photos, likely shot in the same location seconds apart. 100% means you’ve got, not two versions of the same photo, but two copies of the same file. In between them, the program gives you a similarity percentage. It took about twelve minutes to search through the 8,651 pictures in my library, where it found 483 possible duplicates.Ĭlick on a set of two images, and you’ll see both pictures, side by side. That way, you can help friends slim down their collections, too.Īfter you load Awesome (I really hate that name), you simply drag your photo folders to the top part of the window, then click the big Start Search button.

You can run a portable program directly, without installing it first, and even carry it with you on a flash drive.

It also comes in both installable and portable versions.

It’s free, simple, and it does a very good job of finding duplicates and not-quite duplicates. Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder is exactly what it sounds like, and works seamlessly on Windows computers for finding duplicate photo file. I’ve tried a lot of duplicate file and photo finders over the years, and my current favorite–specifically for pictures–is the grandiosely-titled Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder.
