Step 1: Select your folder to scan
Choose any folder on your system that contains images. PixDuplicate will automatically scan all subfolders recursively to find duplicates across your entire directory structure.
Your privacy is protected - all scanning happens locally in your browser with no server uploads!
Step 2: Advanced scanning process
Our intelligent algorithm examines your images using multiple comparison methods:
Visual Fingerprinting: Creates unique signatures for each image based on visual content
Perceptual Hashing: Finds images that look similar but may have different formats or sizes
Cross-Folder Analysis: Compares images across all folders and subfolders
Smart Grouping: Organizes similar images together for easy review
Step 3: Review detected duplicates
Once scanning is complete, review the detected duplicates with visual previews and detailed file information:
Grouped Results: Duplicates are organized into logical groups showing all similar images together
Full Paths: See complete file paths so you know exactly where each duplicate is located
Visual Previews: Click thumbnails to see larger versions with zoom capability
Side-by-Side Comparison: Select up to 3 images to compare them directly
Step 4: Take safe action on duplicates
Choose how to handle your duplicate images with multiple management options:
Delete: Permanently remove unwanted duplicates (use with caution!)
Move to Duplicates Folder: Safely relocate duplicates to review before deleting
Copy File Names: Export paths for external management
Download Activity Log: Keep track of all actions taken
Pro Tip: Always use 'Move to Duplicates Folder' first! This lets you review everything before permanent deletion. Once you're confident, you can manually delete from the duplicates folder.
