Duplicate finders can save us a lot of effort. Instead of opening two or more explorer windows and looking through the files, you can just click a button and the software will find any duplicate files. Sometimes these programs can be fooled, especially when it comes to images. The files can have the same name or size, but the images themselves can be different. Similar Picture Find uses more parameters when searching for duplicate images. Even if they have different names, but the same image, the software will detect this.

Similar Picture Find is free and there are no hidden restrictions or nag screens. It is a lightweight application which comes in a 1.66 Mb package. The installation process will complete in a few seconds, even if your computer has older hardware.

A small preview area and a few options can be found on the interface. It is not necessary to search for duplicates on the whole hard drive if you know where they might be. Besides disk partitions, you can target individual folders as well. Once you do this, the software will scan for all the images in that location and it will list them on the lower half of the interface.

At first, you will not be able to tell which files have doubles and which do not. With the options from the Actions menu, you can search for images that are similar to a specific one or sort the entire results list in groups of duplicates. The images can be filtered, by clicking the radio buttons on the interface, to show only duplicates or files which could not be loaded.

If you select an image from the list, you may click one of the buttons, next to the preview area, to open the file's parent folder, the image itself or delete it. Options for deleting all duplicates or damaged files are available as well, but you can only use them after sorting the list into groups.

Pros

Images of various formats can be found and sorted very fast. The interface is not full of options, so you can find duplicates without stumbling through all sorts of settings. Similar Picture Find is freeware and it can be installed fast.

Cons

The options for selecting a folder and scanning for duplicates can only be found in the top menus. Regardless of how many duplicates you may have, Similar Picture Find will locate them, making it possible to delete them all in one run.
