If you are one of those people who usually use images and edit them for pleasure or work, it is likely that after a while, you will find that you have a vast amount of photographs similar to each other on your computer's hard drive. Therefore, it is a good idea to delete them to make some storage space. Of course, the problem is that it is difficult to know which ones are repeated. However, getting this information with a program like Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is much easier.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is a free application with a paid version, which has been specially developed to carry out deep searches in your hard disk in general or in the folders or scores that you indicate, looking for repeated images. Of course, it does not force you to eliminate those you have duplicates, but in the first instance, it will show you what they are, and then you can eliminate those that you consider correct.

How it works

Of course, this procedure can be done manually, but the disadvantage is that it takes much more time, and sometimes we may even miss some images because they have different formats, etc. With Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder, things are much more straightforward since it has an advanced engine, allowing you to quickly discover the similarities between images.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder can overcome many aspects of photographs that could confuse other programs, such as changes in formats, image size, etc. And as if the possibility of detecting the similarity between two images were a minor issue, it also adds a percentage of similarity between them so that you know how much they have in common.

Of course, with Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder, you can also carry out much more specific searches to find images in a specific format or of a particular size. This will save you from having to search for the image you are interested in, among many others, but also a considerable amount of time wasted when you only want to find one file.

Assuming you have already performed the analysis you were looking for, Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder will allow you to eliminate the images that are taking up space in your storage quickly and simply. All you have to do is mark the photographs you no longer want to have on your PC, and the program will get rid of them in just a few seconds, possibly deleting them in batches and not one by one.

Compatibility with different image formats is another strong point of Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder since it will allow you to find similar pictures in most current formats. We couldn't name them all because we wouldn't finish in this review, but to mention a few, we have to talk about the following: BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, ICO, and JPEG.

The user interface of Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is more functional than eye-catching, as it reminds us of the average design of Windows programs, with a series of top menus determined by different icons and then a good portion of the screen dedicated to what is essential, which are the files. The program does not offer other languages translations, but this section passes without any problems.

Keep in mind

At the beginning of the review, we mentioned that Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is an application we can use for free on our computers. However, it also has a paid alternative that is more interesting. This free version has no use time limit, but it does not let us enjoy some specific features only available when we register by purchasing the complete service.

The best

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder has dozens of positive features, although to dwell on the ones that have caught our attention, we must talk about the efficiency it has when searching for repeated images, such as the ability to adapt to most of the usual formats in this segment.

The worst

As for the shortcomings of Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder, we could only mention that its basic version does not allow us to access some functions that are only part of the paid edition. We hardly noticed those absences in our user experience, so we believe that most customers will be satisfied even with this free alternative.

Rating

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is, without a doubt, one of the best applications you can install on your computer if you suspect that you have a lot of similar images stored between them and want to delete some of them to make some space.
