The only problem is when you overdo it, and end up with duplicates, or tens of pictures that are incredibly similar, and that is when you need some extra storage space.

Well, if you too have encountered this issue, we recommend that you try out Duplicate Photo Cleaner, an easy-to-use software utility that, as you can probably guess from the name, identifies and deletes image duplicates, or even images that are too similar between each other.

A great tool for Windows, Mac and mobile devices

While most of you probably take photos using your phone, the bulk of them will eventually either be backed up on some cloud service or on your PC’s HDD.

That is precisely why Duplicate Photo Cleaner was designed to be able to work on Windows PCs, Macs (including Mac Photos albums), and mobile devices (although the latter still requires a PC connection).

Additionally, Duplicate Photo Cleaner can also be used to declutter your Lightroom catalog to manage your photos more effectively.

Speaking of which, here are the system requirements in order to run this program efficiently:

OS: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8/ 10
CPU: 400 MHz or higher
RAM: 128 MB or more
Hard Drive: 5 MB of free space

All you need to do is launch the program, and then connect the external device to your PC, and it will be automatically identified, and you will also be prompted whether to add this new media to the scanning list or not.

Specify exactly which directories need scanning

When it comes to many duplicate finders and cleaners, one big drawback is that few of them offer you the chance to customize which directories get scanned for duplicates, instead preferring full system scans.

While this may sound like the scans will be more thorough, it is overkill in terms of time since, especially when you know you don’t have too many duplicates, and you also know exactly where they might be.

On that note, Duplicate Photo Cleaner lets you manually add and remove folders from the scan list, and even entire directories, removable or otherwise. There’s also an Ignore List where you can add the folders you never want to scan. By default, the Ignore List contains important system folders.

You can further narrow down the search by specifying exactly what image formats the program should be looking for, as well as the minimum and maximum file size.

Scan for both duplicates and similar photos that take up space.

When it comes to photos, the real problem isn’t the number of duplicates, because let’s face it, creating duplicates isn’t that easy, but rather photos that are incredibly similar to one another that add no real value.

That’s another reason why you should try out Duplicate Photo Cleaner, since it lets you set a similarity threshold so that it will find both duplicates and photos that are quite alike.

In addition to that, resized, cropped, converted and otherwise edited images will never be detected by an average duplicate finder because technically they’re not 100% identical.

This feature is a huge space-saver, especially if you use professional or semi-pro cameras and store both RAW and JPG photos on your hard drive.

While this particular tool may take some time to get used to, it will end up being the biggest variable in terms of how many dupes are found and removed.

Multiple scanning modes

Once you’ve determined which locations on your HDD you want to scan and what parameters the scanned images should meet, the next step is to determine what type of scan you want to run.

Duplicate Photo Cleaner currently supports 9 different scanning modes:

Standard scan

As you can tell from the name, this is your typical scan where all specified directories will be scanned for duplicates.

Sector Detail Scan

This lets you look for a specific detail found in one photo and look for the same element in other photos. This is particularly useful when you have a boat or, say, a car in a photo and you want to find the rest of the photo containing that element

Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.Click here to download and start repairing.

Expert tip:

Try before you buy

One great thing about this tool is that you can download and test it out for free, although the free version will only let you preview the photos that were found as being duplicates or too similar, without actually letting you remove them.

However, this is more than enough, since you can see for yourself how good it is at identifying the extra wasted space, with cleanup being just one purchase away.

Speaking of which, the developers offer multiple purchasing plans, each more efficient than the previous ones:

1 PC, 1 year: $39.95
3 PCs, 1 year: $49.95
5 PCs, 1 year: $59.95
10 PCs, 1 year: $69.95

All in all, if you’re the type that takes hundreds of photos a day, be it professionally or simply because it is fun, you know the pain of having to free up space because of duplicates.
