Duplicate Photo Finder

Duplicate Photo Finder (SoftOrbits) is an offline Windows duplicate photo finder that scans folders, drives or your whole PC to find duplicate photos and similar shots, then helps you remove duplicate images and free up disk space - all locally, nothing uploaded to any cloud.

🔰 How to use

1. Install and open the app - no account or email needed.
2. Drag and drop photos and folders, or run Scan Computer to check whole drives (system folders are skipped).
3. Pick what to find (Photos, Photos + Video, All Files), set the Matching Level and press Scan.
4. Compare photos in each group - the best shot is kept in green.
5. Press Delete Marked to delete duplicate pictures and reclaim space.

👍 Why choose it

1. 100% offline and private. All scanning runs on your machine - no cloud, no account, nothing uploaded.
2. A true similar photo finder, not just an exact-copy tool: catches resized, rotated, re-saved, edited and burst-series shots.
3. Two passes in one scan - SHA-256 hashing for byte-identical copies plus a fast pixel and metadata pass for look-alikes.
4. Smart ranking picks the keeper by resolution, sharpness (variance-of-Laplacian blur score), file size and capture date.
5. Full preview before deleting - zoom, dimensions, size, dates and EXIF info let you compare photos with confidence.
6. Safe deletion. Files go to the Recycle Bin, system folders stay untouched, one photo per group is always kept.
7. Batch delete or move marked files in one click, with Auto Mark and Selection Assistant (newest, oldest, largest, highest res).
8. Fast on any PC - uses all CPU cores and lightweight hashing, no GPU. Live results appear while the scan continues.
9. One-time license, not a subscription, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Trusted since 2006.
10. Works on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11. Supports 30+ RAW formats, HEIC, JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, videos and more.

Great for

• Freeing up disk space by wiping thousands of near-identical pictures.
