Editors' Review

+

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.

"This tool is one on my favorites"

November 07, 2014  |  By TonyMcarter

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.6.0.1

Pros

Since I ordered this one I have no problems with my photo library - the mess is OVER!
Keeps getting better in every version.

Cons

I do not have any complaints about this tool!

Summary

If you want to find similar and duplicate photos this one is for you. And yes nowadays these take a lot of space especially in RAW format.
So a single scan can save gigabytes of disk space.

"Professional grade tool"

November 07, 2014  |  By lindseyferr

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.6.0.1

Pros

Supports RAW and can find similar photos in ANY image format - something that a standard duplicate finder can not do.

Cons

Nothing to mention here.

Summary

If you also have 100 000 images to organize like me then you will understand that this is a real lifesaver.

"I am not a reviewer type but I will add my 50c"

August 05, 2014  |  By tvcxx

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.5.0.1

Pros

This product is really great and works perfectly.
300+ image formats for such a low price is a steal.

Cons

Some extra flexibility in the folders list would be fine. It is a pain to exclude from auto-check if you have say 100 folders added - but I guess not many people need this.

Summary

Great product overall. There is a free demo so give it a try.

"Great for organizing photos"

July 20, 2014  |  By tripio2f

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.4.0.1

Pros

Nice features in this tool. Can help with many tasks:
Searching for a sample image in your photo library
Merging photos from multiple locations
Cleaning and organizing photo library

Cons

Maybe it would be better to display all thumbnails at the bottom, not just 2, but I guess if there are too many photos in a group it would not be convenient.

Summary

Great value for its money. Definitely a good choice

"Tried many duplicate photo finders"

July 16, 2014  |  By SimonJohnson36

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.4.0.1

Pros

I tried many duplicate photo finder tools and I can state that this one really works. Actually you can not even compare them - this one is way better than anything else I've tested.

Cons

I do not have much remarks. Zoom to fit in the preview panel would be nice.

Summary

I like it!

"Great tool with solid support"

July 11, 2014  |  By amanda881

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.4.0.1

Pros

I like the tool a lot. Works as advertised and helps in organizing images. You can download the free demo and see for yourself.
I had an issue that auto-check was not selecting any images and contacted the support. I must admit that I received a response withing 5 minutes which is impressive. It turned out that it was my mistake as I had excluded all folders from auto-check so there was nothing to check :)
Support was baffled at first, but after I sent them a screenshot they sent me the solution immediately :)

Cons

I do not recall

Summary

These guys are real professional - you rarely receive such prompt responses from support nowadays.

"This one is incredible too"

July 09, 2014  |  By daria29

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 5.4.0.1

Pros

I use the Audio Dedupe tool by this company and I am very happy with it. I noticed this one and it is great too - finding similar photos is not a task that any duplicate finder can do.
I love how it manages to find similar portraits of a person shot from different angles.
AMAZING!

Cons

I have no remarks about the duplicate finders from this company - they are all great.

Summary

Very reliable and innovative tool - I have recommended it to all my friends and they love it too. :)

"This app kicks ass"

July 06, 2014  |  By twagazzz

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 4.7.0.1

Pros

Very cool features
Amazing similarity search engine
Great user interface

Cons

The price for Pro version is a bit steep, but it is well worth the extra bucks for the extra 300 RAW image formats that it supports.

Summary

This is a bad ass application and can do wonders if you need to organize photos.

"WOW 300+ Image formats including RAW"

July 06, 2014  |  By tlnhe79

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 4.7.0.1

Pros

The most complete tool I have tested so far.
Immense quantity of supported file formats including RAW for all popular cameras. I have both NEF and CRW files - all scanned perfectly.
Ability to compare different files - for example NEF and CRW.
This is a "must have" for a photography addict like me!

Cons

Initial scan can take some time on a slower storage. I read in the FAQ section of this tool that it is extremely optimized and that the slowest thing in the scan process is reading the files from the storage. Scanning files on SSD drive is very fast indeed compared to my USB drive.
That is not such a big issue though as the tool does some sort of indexing on initial scan and next scans are tens of times quicker.

"Much better than standard duplicate finders"

July 05, 2014  |  By taztx22

 |  Version: Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 4.7.0.1

Pros

This is not just a standard duplicate file finder - it can find similar photos and that is something other tools can not do.
I though I was using a good duplicate finder (just like you think) but after I tried this one - oh boy it is amazing.
No more zillion versions of the same photo.

Cons

I have nothing to file in this section.

Summary

I do recommend you to try this one. It saved me 100+ gigabytes of disk space. I travel a lot an take lots of photos.
