Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder helps you root out duplicate images so you can remove them and subsequently save space on your hard drive. Rather than relying on file names or format to identify copies, this program compares images visually, and that leads to a more accurate analysis of what files may be duplicates.

Pros

Cross-format analysis: No matter what format your images are stored in, and particularly if they're in different formats in different places, this app can scan and compare them. It supports more than 400 file formats, including many from RAW camera files. So no matter why you wound up with duplicates, you'll be able to find and delete them.

Scan options: Each time you run a scan, you can choose to include images with smaller file sizes if the dimensions are equal, images with smaller dimensions, and images with smaller file sizes regardless of the dimensions, depending on what you're looking for and what kinds of images you'd like to remove. You can also search for certain file sizes and file extensions if you know more specifically what you're looking for.

Cons

Only manual selections: You can't use this app to automatically scan your whole computer. Instead, you have to enter specific folders or locations to scan, which may take some time if you're not sure where duplicate image files might be located.

Bottom Line

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is an innovative program that can help you save space on your hard drive by eliminating unwanted duplicate photos. The visual approach it takes means that it can find duplicates other programs can't, as they may only look for duplicate file names. You can try this app for free, but you can't delete with the trial version, and only the first ten file names are displayed in the search results. Purchasing a full license costs $24.95.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.5.0.1.

Publisher's Description

From MindGems: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder's main goal is to help you to find fast all similar and duplicate images in a folder and its sub folders. Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder uses advanced algorithms to find similar images in a way that a human does. Due to that fact it can find similar images even if they are in different image formats, different bit depth and image sizes. You can specify a percent of image similarity that will be used during the scan. Using the similarity percentage level you can broaden your results or you can specify exact match varying only in image format and/or size. After the scan process is finished the program shows all images that have duplicates and can automatically mark the smaller resolution and/or smaller file size images for deletion. With a couple of mouse clicks you can get rid off all duplicate images and save gigabytes of valuable disk space. Unlike standard duplicate file finders this advanced duplicate photo finder tool will "Look" at your images in order to find similarities like a real person would do. Supports 100+ Image Formats including PhotoShop/LightRoom PSD (XMP) and 300+ RAW Camera File Formats Some of the supported file formats: JPEG Bitmap (*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.jpe) Compuserve Bitmap (*.gif) Portable Network Graphics (*.png) TIFF Bitmap (*.tif;*.tiff;*.fax;*.g3n;*.g3f) JPEG2000 Files (*.jp2) JPEG2000 Code Stream (*.j2k;*.jpc;*.j2c) Targa (*.tga;*.targa;*.vda;*.icb;*.vst;*.pix) Paintbrush (*.pcx) Windows Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle) Windows Metafile (*.wmf) Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf) Windows Icon (*.ico) Windows Cursor (*.cur) Wireless Bitmap (*.wbmp) Portable Pixmap (*.pxm;*.ppm) Adobe Photoshop (*.psd) Camera RAW (*.crw; *.cr2; *.nef; *.raw; *.pef; *.raf; *.x3f; *.bay; *.orf; *.srf; *.mrw; *.dcr; *.sr2; *.dng; *.erf; *.mef; *.arw) (only in Pro and Corporate versions) DICOM Images (*.dcm) (only in Corporate version) HDPhoto Images (*.hdp; *.wdp; *.jxr) (only in Pro and Corporate versions).

"Great Tool - And yes works perfectly on Windows 10"

sebastianzaquan May 31, 2017 / Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 6.4.0.1

2017-05-31 16:52:49 | By sebastianzaquan

Pros

I usually do not post reviews, but I use these products for ages and seeing such review like the previous one just is absolute nonsense. Because of such reviewers it is so difficult to find these GREAT tools.
So as you can understand this tool works perfectly not only on Windows 10 but on ALL Windows operating systems.

Cons

I definitely recommend it.

"Slow, cumbersome and does not work with Windows 10"

AlexMorrison45 May 18, 2017 / Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 6.4.0.1

2017-05-18 08:52:06 | By AlexMorrison45

Pros

Looks nice to start

Cons

Slow, cumbersome, difficult to use, poor help interface. Last, but by no means least does not work with Windows 10. I actually contacted this company to enquire re compatibility and they assured me it is compatible but it isn't.

Summary

Cannot advise anyone to use this as it simply does not work.

"Fake reviews produced by developer"

Baldspark December 27, 2016 / Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 6.4.0.1

2016-12-27 11:29:09 | By Baldspark

Pros

PLEASE take the time to click on each reviewers name and look at their profile. You will see that many of the 5 start reviews came from users who created an account, then reviewed 4 MindGems software titles giving them all 5 stars.

Cons

Bogus reviews (which can be proven fake). Software vendor should be banned from Downloads.com

Summary

I find this attempt to manipulate peoples opinion of your product by creating dishonest paid reviews to be disgusting, and I hope Downloads.com bans your software completely.

"Another good tool"

fjdTally July 06, 2016 / Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 6.2.0.1

2016-07-06 03:31:54 | By fjdTally

Pros

I tried Fast Duplicate File Finder from this company, which was recommended on a professional IT forum and decided to test the other tools that they provide. I am really impressed by their features and quality.

Cons

Would be great to have all those duplicate finders in a single tool, but as they are dedicated they work much better than a combined tool which tries to achieve everything.

"Great tool and great support"

btobtobto July 05, 2016 / Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 6.2.0.1

2016-07-05 00:08:18 | By btobtobto

Pros

I will not comment on the functionality of this tool as it is way ahead of any tool that claims to find similar photos - there is no room for comparison as the precision here is much better. I had a more complex task to do and needed some special filtering options and the support was great in pointing out tutorial and help file references in order to do the job.
I am very satisfied with their service.

Cons

The tool is very powerful and you may need to reference the help file in order to get more complex tasks done.

Summary

Very satisfied!

"Doing this manually would cost ages"

daridari678 December 15, 2015 / Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 6.1.0.1

2015-12-15 05:55:01 | By daridari678

Pros

I was pointed to the free duplicate finder that this company provides and tried a bunch of the other tools they have - really impressive. I purchased this one and also the one for audio - I use them all the time - have not seen other tools that can mach the precision.

Cons

Don't miss any features.
