Finding Duplicate images

Looking through the images that I've got backed up on my NAS drive, I can see that I've got quite a number of them duplicated.

I'd ideally like to tidy them down so that I have a master image for each photo that I can then go and work off of if I want to. I think that I'd hope to start with the EXIF information, and then work outwards towards 'smarter' matching from there.

Any recommendations for free software that will help me do this quickly and easily?

You could potentially sort them in photo mechanic and deleted them from there if they are the same name.

So they would show up next to each other if they are duplicates, maybe worth a bash.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
