PhotoSweeper Lite is a lightweight version of PhotoSweeper designed to help you quickly and easily get rid of duplicate photos. It works seamlessly with libraries from Apple Photos, Adobe Lightroom Classic, Capture One, and also supports photos stored on your hard drive or external storage devices. It finds and groups photos with identical or nearly identical content, regardless of their filenames.
DUPLICATE photos – exact copies, often created when backing up files, using multiple photo libraries, or syncing across devices. If you have several Macs, external drives, or just multiple copies of the same collection, PhotoSweeper Lite is perfect for cleaning them up.
SIMILAR photos – photos that look the same to the human eye but differ technically. These are usually created by taking multiple shots of the same scene or editing with apps like Adobe Photoshop, Pixelmator, etc. PhotoSweeper Lite does NOT detect these, but the FULL version of PhotoSweeper does!
With PhotoSweeper Lite you get:
• Support for Photos, Lightroom Classic and Capture One libraries.
• Beautifully designed and easy-to-use interface: great photo browsing, reviewing results in different modes, automatically marking photos etc.
• Extremely fast workflow: based on state-of-the-art technologies and optimized for photo comparison.
This is the LITE version. The FULL version is named "PhotoSweeper" and it:
• Finds SIMILAR photos with extra comparison settings. Photos are compared regardless of their sizes or formats and are grouped by similarity. It allows you to find even edited photos and series of shots.
• Moves or copies photos you want to keep, with or without bulk renaming.

Works well
Tintashoopa
I originally tried another app that was free but this was definitely worth the $1.39!This app work well because there were enough variables to make the auto select section work well. Therefore, I didn't have to individually click through over 2000 pictures. With the other app, even though I have a relatively new Mac desktop, it was still overwhelming my memory so that I needed to restart my computer after every 150 pictures deleted!With Photosweeper, the entire task was completed in a matter of minutes and the auto select criterea worked perfectly.
Does exactly what you need
Mr. Chad
What a great inexpensive app. I used this to find almost 20 GB of duplicates on my HD. After merging an old Aperture Library and Photos Library with many other folders, this app worked quickly and accurately to eliminate doubles. I've only gotten rid of files with the same format, but am considering going after same pictures in different formats next (RAW images & JPGS). Worth the small investment if you want to clean things up.
Good app
