Duplicate Photo Cleaner for Windows is software designed to identify and remove duplicate photos from your computer[SQ]s hard drive. These duplicates can take up significant storage space, especially with digital cameras and smartphones taking many similar pictures.

These programs typically work by :

*

Scanning:

They scan specified folders (or your entire drive) for images.
*

Comparison:

They compare images using various algorithms (e.g., comparing pixel data, file size, metadata) to find near-duplicates (identical images and visually similar ones). The level of similarity detection varies between programs.
*

Previewing:

Most offer a preview feature, allowing you to review the duplicates before deletion.
*

Deleting or Moving:

They provide options to delete the duplicates, move them to a separate folder, or simply highlight them for manual review and deletion.

Different Duplicate Photo Cleaner software for Windows may offer additional features such as:

*

File type support:

Some support not only image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.) but also other file types.
*

Similarity level adjustment:

Allows you to specify how similar two images need to be to be considered duplicates.
*

Batch processing:

Enables quick processing of large numbers of photos.
*

Cloud storage integration:

Some may integrate with cloud storage services like Google Photos or Dropbox.

In short, it[SQ]s a utility to reclaim disk space and organize your photo library by removing redundant images. Many free and paid options are available.
