About this app

This app specializes in finding images that are similar enough to be considered duplicates. Unnecessary images can thus be deleted to free up space on your device.

On launch, the app searches for all of your images. All you have to do is choose the directories to process to obtain the groups of photos presenting the same views or subjects. You can then choose which images to delete or ask the application to do it automatically.

This application uses the advanced algorithms and characteristics of the Panaustick application by the same author (http://en.panaustik.com). Therefore, it does not give false positives. It can process a large number of images quickly. It detects duplicate images even if they are not the same size, have different orientations or lighting conditions, are more or less sharp...

Note: The app analyzes images like a human eye would to detect similarities between photos. For this, it uses advanced algorithms that require a lot of calculations. The initial work may seem relatively slow although it is possible to process 2-5 pictures per second depending on the speed of your device. Fortunately, the results of some intermediate calculations can be saved. Thus, after the first execution, the calculations will be much faster.

If you're looking for a less specific app to find duplicates of any file type, you can try FileDup (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.panaustik.filedup) which searches for exact duplicates and is therefore much faster.

This completely free application has no restrictions, does not collect any personal data and is guaranteed without 'tracker'.

Ratings and reviews

It took around 4 hours to partly scan my pictures and I stopped it before it finished, but of the files it did scan I removed around 500 duplicates. I was happy with it finding something. I didn't get any ads, but I bought the add-free version to support the developer. I might give it a day sometime to let it complete the scan. I know I have duplicates in the thousands. For reference, it scanned 112k pictures in 3 parent folders.

An excellent app. Most probably one of the best if not the best photo duplicate remover. Very user friendly as well 😍

Please, please can I give it TEN stars? I have been looking for an app like this for years, which doesn't scan the whole device, this app gives me the option of selecting the directories (folders), that is just what I needed. The ads are small and unintrusive, despite that, I had no problem in paying to remove them. An additional option (required by me), to move selected images to a folder (or a bin and recover if needed). Btw it's too easy to hide/remove groups by mistake.
