What is VisiPics?
VisiPics does more than just look for identical files, it goes beyond checksums to look for similar pictures and does it all with a simple user interface. First, you select the root folder or folders to find and catalogue all of your pictures. It then applies five image comparison filters in order to measure how close pairs of images on the hard drive are.
Visipic is a program that is considerably faster than any other commercial product and has an interface that let you do other things while Visipics automatically finds your duplicated images. It will detect two different resolution files of the same picture as a duplicate, or the same picture saved in different formats, or duplicates where only minor cosmetic changes have taken place.
All detected duplicates are shown side by side with pertinent information such as file name, type and size being displayed. Its auto-select mode let you choose if you want to keep the higher resolution picture, space-saving filetype, smaller filesize or all of the above. If you are insecure over what you really want to delete you can manually select the images you dont want to keep and delete them yourself.
The program seems to be no longer updated. Last version, 1.31, released in February 2013, can be still downloaded from the official website.

It's freeware, old, but it can do the job, if you keep the picture amount small enough so VisiPics couldn't reach the ceiling of 2 GB of memory usage to finally crash and loose all process and make you start all over, with lower amounts of data.
It finds ALL duplicates. It has issues with displaying pictures with transparency - they appear garbled. There are so many things that could be better, for e.g. memory usage, proper picture viewer for comparing, but the author hasn't bothered with this tool since 2007. But it does find ALL duplicates.
Somebody do us a favor and do something with this tool - either make it open-source, buy the source code from author or make a clone of this tool and then listen to what users suggest could be better. We seriously need now something that can process 100 000+ pictures and fast(er).
The interface is a bit clumsy, but it does its job well once you get used to it. This is one of the better unitaskers in my experience.
It is not perfect but it will help immensely to find duplicate pictures that either are the same or look kind of alike. I went with it through thousands of files and it helped me clean a lot the collection =)
this is very good software but without option "MARK GROUP/SELECT GROUP" this software is useless for me :-(
I installed a bunch of other similar Softwares but ended up using this old one.
I've spent hours with this app, scanning and understanding how it works only to discover that it missed blatant copies ! I was analysing over 10,000 images so there maybe a restriction on the amount of photos it can process, I'm not sure, as it is an old piece of software.
It's a shame really , because the description of how it works does sound impressive but if it doesn't work, it's pretty much useless.
i wouldn't trust this software at all
I've found that as well. I've spent hours scanning and it still ignores some (not all) duplicates, Crazy !!

Try AllDup, that's the program i eventually ended installing on my machine (tried all of them on a VM) - it worked for me.
