Good day.

Statistics are an inexorable thing - many users sometimes have dozens of copies of the same file (for example, a picture or a music track) on their hard drives. Each of these copies, of course, takes up space on the hard drive. And if your disk is already “filled” to capacity, then there can be quite a lot of such copies!

Cleaning duplicate files manually is not a rewarding thing, which is why I want to collect in this article programs for finding and removing duplicate files (even those that differ in both file format and size from each other - and this is quite difficult task!). So…

List of programs for finding duplicates

1. Universal (for any files)

They search for identical files by their size (checksums).

By universal programs, I mean those that are suitable for searching and deleting duplicates of any type of file: music, movies, pictures, etc. (below in the article, “its own” more precise utilities will be given for each type). Most of them work according to the same type: they simply compare file sizes (and their checksum), if among all the files there are identical ones in this characteristic - they show you!

Those. thanks to them, you can quickly find complete copies (i.e. one to one) of files on the disk. By the way, I’ll also note that these utilities work faster than those that are specialized for a specific type of file (for example, image search).

DupKiller

I put this program in first place for a number of reasons:

  • supports simply a huge number of different formats in which it can search;
  • high speed work;
  • free and with Russian language support;
  • very flexible settings for searching for duplicates (search by name, size, type, date, content (limited)).

Duplicate Finder

This utility, in addition to searching for copies, also sorts them as you please (which is very convenient when there are an incredible number of copies!). Also, add byte-by-byte comparison, checksum verification, and deletion of zero-sized files (and empty folders too) to the search capabilities. In general, this program does a pretty good job of finding duplicates (both quickly and efficiently!).

Those users who are new to English will feel a little uncomfortable: Russian is not in the program (maybe it will be added later).

Glary Utilities

In general, this is not one utility, but a whole collection: it will help you delete “junk” files, set optimal settings in Windows, defragment and clean your hard drive, etc. Including this collection there is a utility for searching for duplicates. It works relatively well, which is why I will recommend this collection (as one of the most convenient and universal - as they say, for all occasions!) once again on the pages of the site.

2. Programs for finding duplicate music

These utilities will be useful to all music lovers who have a decent collection of music accumulated on their disk. I’m picturing a fairly typical situation: you download various collections of music (the 100 best songs of October, November, etc.), some of the compositions are repeated in them. It is not surprising that, having accumulated 100 GB of music (for example), 10-20 GB can be copies. Moreover, if the size of these files in different collections were the same, then they could be deleted by the first category of programs (see above in the article), but since this is not the case, then these duplicates cannot be found by anyone except your “hearing” And special utilities (which are presented below).

M usic Duplicate Remover

The result of the utility.

This program differs from others, first of all, in its fast search. It searches for duplicate tracks by their ID3 tags and sound. Those. she will listen to the composition for you, remember it, and then compare it with others (thus doing a huge amount of work!).

The screenshot above shows the result of her work. She will present her found copies to you in the form of a small tablet, in which a percentage similarity figure will be assigned to each track. In general, quite convenient!

A

Found duplicate MP3 files...

This utility is similar to the one above, but it has one undoubted advantage: the presence the most convenient master, who will guide you step by step! Those. a person who launches this program for the first time will easily figure out where to click and what to do.

For example, in my 5000 tracks in a couple of hours, I managed to find and delete several hundred copies. An example of how the utility works is shown in the screenshot above.

3. To search for copies of pictures, images

If you analyze the popularity of certain files, then the pictures will probably not lag behind the music (and for some users they will surpass them!). It’s hard to imagine working on a PC (and other devices) without pictures! But finding pictures with the same image on them is quite difficult (and time-consuming). And, I must admit, there are relatively few programs of this kind...

Image Comparer

I have already mentioned this program on the pages of the site. It is also a small program, but with quite good algorithms scanning pictures. Eat step by step wizard, launched when you first open the utility, which will guide you through all the “thorns” of first setting up the program to search for duplicates.

By the way, just below is a screenshot of the utility’s operation: in the reports you can even view small parts, where the pictures are slightly different. In general, it’s convenient!

4. To search for duplicates of films, videos

Well, the last popular file type that I would like to dwell on is video (films, videos, etc.). If once before, having a 30-50 GB disk, I knew in which folder where and what movie takes up how much (and they were all against each other), then, for example, now (when disks have become 2000-3000 GB or more) - they are often found the same videos and films, but in different quality (which can take up quite a lot of space on your hard drive).

Most users (yes, in general, me too 🙂) don’t need this state of affairs: it just takes up space on the hard drive. Thanks to a couple of utilities below, you can clear your disk of identical videos...

Duplicate Video Search

A functional utility that quickly and easily finds similar videos on your disk. Let me list some of the main features:

  • identifying copies of videos with different bitrates, resolutions, format characteristics;
  • auto-selection of video copies with worse quality;
  • identify modified copies of videos, including those with different resolutions, bitrates, cropping, and format characteristics;
  • the search result is presented as a list with thumbnails (showing file characteristics) - so you can easily choose what to delete and what not;
  • the program supports almost any video format: AVI, MKV, 3GP, MPG, SWF, MP4, etc.

The result of her work is presented in the screenshot below.

A program for finding duplicate files is most often needed by users who store on disk a large number of music, photos and documents.

And, although you can delete such unnecessary copies manually, specialized applications can save a lot of time.

Especially if the files are located in different folders or in .

You can search for such duplicates using the universal software or designed for a specific data type.

In the first case, the search speed increases, in the second, the probability of finding all copies increases.

Content:

Universal Applications

Universal applications for finding copies mainly work on the principle of comparing file sizes.

And, since the probability of matching the number of bytes is different photos practically equal to zero, identical values ​​are considered a sign of a duplicate.

Sometimes the algorithm involves checking names - also important parameter for searching, especially since the same data in most cases also coincides in name.

The advantages of the programs are the ability to find files of any type with their help and the relatively high speed of operation. Disadvantage: lower detection accuracy.

So, for example, none of these utilities will consider the same file saved with different resolutions to be a duplicate.

1. DupKiller

And among its advantages we can note:

  • ease of setup;
  • setting multiple search criteria;
  • the ability to ignore some files (with a certain size or creation date, as well as system or hidden ones).

Important: If files with a size of zero are detected, they do not have to be deleted. Sometimes this may be information created on another operating system (for example, Linux).

Rice. 4. CCleaner system optimization program can also search for duplicate files.

5.AllDup

Among the advantages of another program, AllDup, we can note support for any modern Windows operating system - from XP to 10.

At the same time, the search is carried out inside hidden folders, and even in archives.

Although the comparison of information by default occurs by file names, so it is advisable to change the settings immediately.

But during the search process, each duplicate found can be viewed without closing the application.

And if a copy is found, you can not only delete it, but also rename it or move it to another location.

TO additional benefits application applies and completely free work for any period of time.

In addition, the manufacturer also produces a portable version in order to search for copies on those computers on which the installation of third-party software is prohibited (for example, on a work PC).

6. DupeGuru

One more useful application The one that searches for duplicates with any extension is DupeGuru.

Its only drawback is the lack of new versions for Windows (although updates for MacOS appear regularly).

However, even a relatively outdated utility copes well with its tasks when working in newer operating systems.

With its help, even system files are easily detected, and the menu is intuitive and in Russian.

Rice. 6. Detecting copies using the DupeGuru utility.

It is noteworthy that, in addition to the usual universal option, the manufacturing company has created a utility to search for files of a certain type.

There is a separate version for images and another for music.

And, if necessary, clean your computer not only of documents and system files(which, by the way, need to be deleted very carefully - sometimes it’s even worth leaving an “extra” copy rather than disrupting the system’s functionality), it’s worth downloading these applications as well.

7. Duplicate Cleaner Free

Duplicate Cleaner Free, a utility for detecting copies of any file, has the following features:

  • filtering data by extension;
  • Russian interface language;
  • possibility of free use;
  • high speed.

Its disadvantages include minor limitations when searching for images (for this it is recommended to purchase a paid version) and not entirely accurate translation individual elements menu

However, due to its effectiveness and ease of use, the application enjoys some popularity.

Finding duplicate audio files

If the search results for duplicates are not satisfactory for the user, you can consider an option designed for specific files. For example, for accumulated on disk.

This need often arises when downloading several albums and collections of the same artist at once - often the same tracks end up in different folders.

They may have similar sizes and differ in by and large, only by names. Especially for this, there are utilities for searching for similar melodies.

8.Music Duplicate Remover

Among the features of the Music Duplicate Remover program are relatively fast search and good efficiency.

In fact, this application “listens” to the composition and compares it with other audio files.

At the same time, naturally, its operating time is longer than that of universal utilities.

However, the amount of data checked by the program is usually tens of times less, so average duration checks rarely exceed a couple of hours.

Finding copies of photos and other images

Just as often, the user may need to remove duplicate images.

Especially if there are several collections of personal photographs on your hard drive, sorted by date or location of shooting.

With the help of special software, unnecessary photos and pictures will be detected and destroyed, and there will be more space on (and other storage).

11. DupeGuru Picture Edition

The application for searching for identical pictures is another version of the DupeGuru utility, which can also (and is even desirable) to be downloaded even if there is a universal version.

At the same time, photo analysis also takes longer compared to searching for files of any extension, but the result is worth it.

Images are detected even when there are several duplicates of the same image on the disk, but with different resolutions and, accordingly, sizes.

In addition, to increase efficiency, files with any graphic extensions are scanned - from to .png.

12. ImageDupeless

Moreover, it is distributed free of charge and has a Russian interface. And the manufacturer periodically releases updates to it, increasing the efficiency of image search.

13. Image Comparer

Especially if the user constantly downloads various information from the network.

Using utilities that detect duplicates, you can save more than one hour of your time and several gigabytes of disk space.

Over the years, a large number of photographs have been collected on computers. Among which there are often copies of the same image. As a result, photos can take up a significant portion of your PC's memory. Finding and deleting identical photos will help save computer resources. Luckily for this there is special programs and you don't have to search for identical photos manually.

In this article I will introduce you to the best free programs to search for identical photos on a computer with operating system Windows 10/8/7. The programs listed in the article will help you find identical images and even a slightly modified version of them.

Programs for finding identical photos

Before you start using these tools, be sure to make a copy of all your images. Nothing will happen to your photos, but it's always better to have a backup of your important data.

Find.Same.Images.OK

Find.Same.Images.OK finds identical images by comparing them at the pixel level. Thus, even if the images are edited, that is, rotated, mirrored, or even changed, the program will be able to find them.

You can download the Find.Same.Images.OK program from the official website.

Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder

This utility does a search and can find exact copies images, and also shows the percentage of their similarity. I tested the program on one of my folders, which had different variations of the same photo in terms of colors, sizes, and even images with similar faces. Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder was able to find everything.

Using the settings, you can adjust the search for similar images from exact copies to similar shots. The program is also available in a portable (version that does not require installation on a computer) version.


You can download the Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder utility from the official website.

CCleaner

The feature-rich CCleaner utility comes with a built-in module search for identical files Duplicate Finder, which you can use to search for identical pictures. But search capabilities using CCleaner are very limited, because... it can only find images with the same size, name andmodified date and file contents, but not
can determine whichexactlyfiles can be safely deleted.

That's whyI I recommend checking the file path and the file itself to make sure that it is in fact a duplicate. You can choose the folders to search for identical photos yourself in the search settings.


You can download CCleaner from the official website.

Glary Duplicate Finder

Using Glary Duplicate File Finder, you can completely browse through all the images on your computer to find duplicate images. The result is divided into two parts: files and duplicate files.

AntiTwin

This small tool can compare not only the size and date of a file, but also its contents. It can find similar images, documents and music files on your PC.

To get accurate results when comparing images, you can perform a byte comparison or a pixel comparison.

The results clearly show duplicate images, but you can also preview each file to avoid deleting information that is important to you.


Often we store similar photos, unsuccessful shots, or are in different folders hard drive identical pictures. How more people is fond of photographs, the more such files can be stored on the computer, taking up free place. To find identical photos on your computer, let's turn to third-party programs for help.

What are the same photos?

Let's look at which duplicate photos are usually stored on the computer:

  1. Completely identical files:
    as a rule, are formed when copying the same folders with photos into different places for safety.
  2. Photos with the same file names:
    may appear if you use different cameras of the same brand. Essentially they are not identical photographs, but can be accidentally deleted when visually comparing file names without viewing their contents.
  3. Bad shots:
    With the disappearance of film for photographs from mass circulation, there was no longer a need to control the number of frames taken. Which, in turn, made it possible to take as many photographs as required, and then select the most successful ones. Unsuccessful shots are often visually very similar to successful ones, with the exception of little things: a blinked person, a blurry frame, a random object in the shooting field.
  4. Modified photos:
    reduced or enlarged copies, photographs with added captions, cropped in the image editor.

Let's look at two popular programs for finding duplicate images and compare their capabilities. To do this, take a photo of a famous cat, make several copies of it with different changes and place all the files in one folder.


Method 1: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder

Free program that does not require installation. Thanks to its simple interface, it allows you to quickly check folders for duplicates. There is no Russian language.


Download Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder

    1. Let's launch the program.


    1. Select the folder to search by clicking on «+» .

    1. After pressing the button "Start search" we get a table with the results and a comparison window for the two selected files.


The program shows the percentage of similarity between two images and offers three options for dealing with each:

    • Move— Move;
    • Browse— Show the selected file in the folder;
    • Delete- Delete.

Method 2: AntiDupl.NET

Free open source program with Russian language support. Let's show its capabilities in the same four photographs.


Download AntiDupl.NET

    1. Let's launch the program.


    1. To start searching, click "Search" and choose "Paths".


    1. Add the folders in which the search will be performed and click "OK".


    1. We start searching in the selected folders by clicking "Search" and then "To start searching".


    1. After the search is completed, the main window displays a comparison of the two images in the table of found matches.

The program was able to find a duplicate photo and in the recommendations column advises deleting one of the files.


IN in this case the application has found two similar images and shows their differences by highlighting them in red in their properties (file size, image size, compression level, blur degree).


Conclusion

The difference between the operation of these two programs is minimal, but for some users the presence of a Russian interface is the main advantage.

Good day!

I think that many users have dozens (or even hundreds) of gigabytes of pictures, wallpapers, videos, music, and other files on their disks. And I should note that in different catalogs (in wallpaper collections, for example) there may be quite a lot of copies (duplicates). Often, after removing them, it is possible to free up several gigabytes of space on the HDD!

There are special programs and utilities to search for duplicates. They are ways to scan your hard drive(s) in a relatively short time and present you with everything that is the same. Then, as a rule, all you have to do is tick off what to delete - and voila, the place is cleared!

In this article I will give several such “cleaners” that will help you free up space on your hard drive. So...

Addition!

Top 14 programs for finding duplicates (identical files)

Universal (search for any files)

Universal programs for finding duplicates are suitable for working with any files: documents, photographs, videos, etc. As a rule, their work is based on searching for files of the same size and checksum. Those. these programs look for exact copies that match 100%!

Thanks to this, their work speed is quite high. However, they cannot find, for example, almost identical pictures that are saved in different formats and with excellent resolution. To do this you need to use special. The software I recommend below...

Computer accelerator

This utility with a self-explanatory name is from Russian developers. In general, it is designed to remove junk files, correct errors in the registry, monitor startup status, etc., but its tools have special tools. a module that allows you to find duplicate files. See screenshot below.

So, after launching this function, you will be asked to specify the folders (which will be analyzed) and click the search button. After some time, the program will present you with all the duplicates found - all that remains is to delete the “extra” ones.

For example, I analyzed my Music folder and found out that I have 311 mp3 takes in 2.65 GB. Moreover, this folder is not that big for me. The result is in the screenshot below.

Of course, if you have a lot of collections on the disk (pictures, music, etc.), the amount of freed up space can be much larger!

Note: free version The program runs in full mode for 5 days.

CCleaner

One of the most famous PC cleaning utilities. However, not many users know that it has a duplicate search function (and a very good function!).

To open this option: you must download latest version programs, in the menu "Service" choose "Search for duplicates" , specify settings and click the button "Find" .

I note that the search is quite fast, you can filter files by their size and name date. You can also manually specify specific drives (folders) to search. In general, quite convenient!

Glary Utilities (Glary Duplicate Cleaner)

Glary Utilities is an excellent set of utilities for all occasions. Contains all the most necessary tools for cleaning, maintenance and Windows optimization. I have already recommended this complex several times on the pages of my blog...

In its arsenal of built-in software there is one small utility Glary Duplicate Cleaner. It allows you to quickly find duplicates of a wide variety of file formats: TXT, RAR, ZIP, MP3, WAV, AVI, JPG, BMP, etc. (in general, all the most popular ones are definitely there, see the screenshot below).

Setting Scan Settings / Glary Duplicate Cleaner

There is also small filter with search criteria: by name, size, time. There is an option to skip files of a certain size (for example, you can skip files that weigh less than 100 KB).

I note that the package Glary Utilities free, and fully translated into Russian. In general, the rating is 5 on a 5-point scale!

AllDup

It's small free utility a way to very quickly scan all your drives and remove all duplicate files. The developers note that their search algorithm is 10-30% faster than other similar products.

Personally, I haven’t checked the speed, but I would note the following: the utility works on all Windows 2000, XP, 7, 8, 10 operating systems (this is a certain advantage!).

After the search, the AllDup utility will present you with the results: you can familiarize yourself with each duplicate and delete it directly from the program interface. Comfortable!

Duplicate File Finder

A free tool for cleaning disks of duplicate files. The program compares files on the specified disk (directory) byte by byte. There are standard filters: file extension, file name, creation date, and size.

You can either view the search result (an example is shown in the screenshot above) in the program itself (and make a decision) or export it to HTML, CSV and TXT files. By the way, I would note that the program has a fairly convenient viewer that allows you to view a picture, text, video.

Total Commander

This famous Commander (a good Explorer replacement) also has a file search function. To open it, click on the “magnifying glass” icon in the top menu of the program (see screenshot above).

Of course, there are not many opportunities here, but nevertheless...

To search for photos, pictures, graphics

These programs can search not only by the size (checksum) of the file, but also by the contents of the picture. For example, you have several identical desktop wallpapers located in two different folders (but these pictures different size and resolution).

So, the programs given above would not have found these duplicates, because... they “cannot” appreciate what is shown in the pictures. In this case, you need to use special. tools (more about them below)...

Image Comparer

This is a very small utility that specializes in searching for similar images. I note that she compares not just the size, but what is shown in the picture (see screenshot above). All popular image and photo formats are supported: RAW, JPEG, J2K, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TGA, etc.

After the search, you will be presented with a list of duplicates: after going through it, you can view all copies and delete those that you do not need. What’s interesting: the program shows you the percentage of similarity of certain pictures (the difference between them stands out as squares when viewed).

Of the minuses: if you specify a large disk (several terabytes), the program will take a very long time to scan. Before using it, I recommend going through the pictures using more rough instruments (for example, CCleaner, AllDup, etc., see above).

DupeGuru Picture Edition

A very simple utility that is designed to quickly search for identical pictures. I note that similar pictures will be found even if they have different formats (for example, JPG and Tiff as in the screenshot above).

Among the advantages of the utility:

  • visual comparison of pictures;
  • the program is completely free;
  • simple interface, designed in a minimalist style;
  • Russian language support;
  • ability to export search results;
  • support for all the most popular Windows versions XP, 7, 8,10.

ImageDupeless

Program ImageDupeless allows you to find duplicate pictures, regardless of file size, format, resolution, etc. characteristics (it will “look” at all the pictures for you and find similar ones).

The program also has very interesting feature recording images on CD discs (creating unique CD galleries).

Note: to save time, compare newly received pictures with an existing gallery (this way you will save a lot of time, because a complete scan of all the pictures on the disk is much longer than searching in the created gallery).

Comparison result: please note that the resolution and size of the pictures are different!

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder

The program uses advanced algorithms to compare graphic images found in pictures and photographs. Thanks to this, it is possible to find similar and identical images, even if they have different formats (GIF, PNG, JPG, etc.) and resolution.

I note that the user has the option to specify a similarity feature (that is, you can set, say, to find only those pictures that are 95% similar to each other).

After conducting a search: you will be able to view all found duplicates and manually delete all unnecessary ones. By the way, the program places 2 identical images next to each other (see example above) so that you can clearly see the difference. Very convenient!

To search audio and video files

Audio Comparer (Electronic Ear)

Audio Comparer - the program will listen to almost 300 tracks in 10 minutes.

Audio Comparer is not as simple an application for finding duplicates among music files (MP3, MP2, MP1, WMA, AIF, WAV, WavPack, FLAC, APE, AAC and OGG) as it might seem at first glance... It " listens to music and compares tracks with each other using a special algorithm: the comparison is made by audio track, and not by size or file name (as is done in many other analogues).

Thanks to this, identical tracks can be found even if they are saved in different formats. Audio Comparer is a kind of electronic ear that can listen to all your music very quickly.

I note that there are quite a few such programs, so each deserves special attention! I recommend you to get acquainted!

DupeGuru Music Edition

A very interesting program dupeGuru Music Edition for searching for identical and similar music tracks. There are filters for searching: by bitrate, information in tags, duration, size, etc.

All the most popular formats are supported: MP3, WMA, AAC, WMA, OGG, FLAC. After the search, the found duplicates can either be deleted or moved to other directories.

I would also note the presence of the Russian language and support for modern OS Windows 7, 8, 10 (including 64 bits).

Music Duplicate Remover

Music Duplicate Remover - a utility that allows you to easily and quickly find copies of audio files located in different folders (disks) and saved in different formats. Thanks to its electronic ear technology, it can listen to all your songs on the disc, analyze them and provide you with a report with all similar tracks (an example of such a report is shown in the screenshot above).

I note that the utility works great with standard presets (that is, after downloading and launching it, there is no need to delve into the settings for a long time, you can immediately start scanning).

Note! Music Duplicate Remover supports the following audio formats: MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE, WAV.

Duplicate Video Search

Quite a powerful program for deleting identical videos saved in different folders (suitable for those who have a lot of different videos, music videos, top 100 collections, etc.). It will help you “go through” your collection of files and remove all duplicates.

I note that the program uses a unique “cast” technology (i.e., a kind of “electronic eye”), which allows you to find similar videos, even if they are saved in a different format, they have a different resolution and they are compressed with a different codec.

Peculiarities:

  1. The following video formats are supported: AVI, MKV, 3GP, MPG, SWF, MP4, WMV, WTV and FLV (see screenshot above);
  2. search for full copies of videos and similar ones (where excellent resolution, bitrate, format, codec);
  3. the program automatically selects the video with the worst quality among all takes (however, you can manually specify which copy to delete);
  4. convenient and visual presentation of search results: thumbnails for each video and the path to the directory where it is stored;

In a relatively short period of time, she can view all your videos and show you in a convenient table all the files that repeat each other (complete takes, similar videos, videos with the same content, but different quality etc.).

I note that the program has various filters that will allow, for example, to search for videos only of a certain format (or set the duration of the video).

Peculiarities:

  1. supports formats: 3GP, AVI, ASF, ASX, WMV, VOB, XVID, MP4, MPEG;
  2. the ability to search among hidden files;
  3. the ability to automatically select similar videos for deletion;
  4. video filters by duration, quality and extension;

  6. opportunity Reserve copy in a separate folder;
  7. logging;
  8. support for almost all popular Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 (32/64 bits).

Additions, as always, are welcome.

Good luck!
