Use PixCompare to search for duplicates or similar pictures in a large collection of picture files, folders or the Photos app.
PixCompare Features
- Find duplicate and similar pictures in a folder full of pictures
- Find duplicates and similar pictures in Photos
- Move pictures directly to the trash folder
- Move pictures to a different folder
- Display results as groups of similar pictures or as a list of similar pairs of pictures
- Compare one picture to a folder of other pictures
- Compare contents of one folder to another folder
- Use macOS built-in Quicklook to display pictures in full size
- Works best on photographic pictures, file formats supported: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIF, HEIC, and most RAW files.
- Search through up to 100,000 pictures (about 3000 per GB available RAM)
- Display up to 5,000 results
PixCompare can match two pictures even when:
- one of them is grayscale
- they don’t have the same size / aspect ratio
- the contrast / intensity is different
- they have a different pixel-depth
- and when one of them is blurred or rotated
Display results in two different result modes:
- Collection Mode: Result pictures are displayed in groups of similar pictures.
- List Mode: Pairs of similar pictures are displayed in a list. The list is sorted by similarity score, i.e. the most similar pairs are at the top of the list.

Limited but great

Due to my own bad photo mangement I ended up with literally thousands of photo copies of various sizes. Over they years I have tried several duplicate finders and while some did better than others I always knew there were more duplicates in there. PixCompare is the first program that did so. The 5000 pic limit is fine by me. Yes, it is tedious because you have to select the photos manually. And I wish there was a way to instantly reverse a choice if you realized you picked the wrong one ("undo" does not seem to do anything) But still I would give this program a solid 3 1/2 stars! Please keep developing it - I would even be willing to pay a small upgrade fee if necessary.
Very Basic
NanoMoose
Doesn't handle more than 5000 files at a time. Doesn't display the correct pixel count or dimensions. Doesn't auto remove files, you have to manually go through and delete them. Very rudimentary options with limited rules. There are better options out there.
Added support for macOS 26
Improve support for webp format
