Find and delete duplicate photos on Mac

Duplicate Photo Finder

Overview

Photo libraries are notorious for accumulating duplicates. Whether from importing the same photos multiple times, syncing across devices, or downloading from cloud storage - duplicate photos waste gigabytes of precious storage.

DiskCleanKit's Photo Duplicates feature uses advanced visual analysis to find duplicate photos - not just files with the same name, but visually identical images regardless of filename, resolution, or format. It can even detect similar photos from burst shots or slightly different versions.

The visual comparison interface makes it easy to review duplicate groups and choose which photos to keep. You'll see thumbnails side-by-side, making the decision process quick and confident.
