Description

PhotoSweeper Lite (a lightweight version of PhotoSweeper) helps you to get rid of duplicate photos. It works with photos from Apple Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom Classic and Capture One libraries, as well as photos from your hard drives and external storages. It allows you to find and group photos that have identical or very similar content, regardless of image names.

DUPLICATE photos - absolutely identical photos, created by reserve copying or using multiple photo libraries etc. If you have several Macs, external hard drives, or just multiple copies of the same photo collection, and want to remove duplicates, this application is for you.

SIMILAR photos - photos that look identical to the human eye, but are different for a computer, usually created by multi-shot capturing of the same scene, or by editing with special software, like Adobe Photoshop, Pixelmator etc. PhotoSweeper Lite DOES NOT detect this kind of photos as duplicates, but the FULL version of PhotoSweeper DOES the trick.

With PhotoSweeper Lite you get:
• Support for Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, 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 providing 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.

Couldn't find more than 102 duplicates

In a library of 30,000 photos with thousands of obvious duplicates. Update. I upgraded to the full version which took care of business lickety split. I emailed a question to tech support and received the same day an extremely detailed answer, explanation, and instructions. The Overmacs team member, Jon, asked me to keep him posted - which I did as I needed a little help with fine tuning the system - and he replied to every email within minutes. Without Jon's prompt and detailed replies this weekend project would have taken weeks. I'm very satisfied with the product and thoroughly impressed with the support given to their customers.

Works!

Takes a minute (literally about two minutes) to figure out and then presents you with pairs (or more) of duplicates, which you can evaluate pretty quickly by just pressing the down arrow to go from one to the next. Click on any near-duplicates that you want to save, then click Trash Marked at the bottom, and those supremely irritating duplicates are gone!

Thanks for sharing your experience 😍

This worked where free version didn't

I tried Duplicate File Finder (by this same devloper, I think) and while it identified duplicates well, it would always hang for me when I asked it to actually delete the duplicates.

This similar program seems more feature-complete, and was able to actually delete the many thousands of dups I was trying to sift through. Yay!
