Image Comparer

Taking a lot of pictures with your phone or your camera might imply having more similar shots. In time, these can take up a considerable amount of disk space, thus clogging your computer. It’s a pain to manually sort them out, but you can always rely on specialized applications like Image Comparer to find duplicates and decide what happens to them.

The initial launch of the application wants to take you through a wizard-driven process to help you get acquainted with the set of features and capabilities a bit faster. A couple of methods can be used to detect similar pictures, either by comparing two folders, or selecting a single location and letting the application do its job.

Once detected, pictures are shown in a gallery, with the possibility to easily navigate and preview them, and an additional panel that shows top 10 similar images. Moreover, you can access the image pairs tab to have pictures spread in two columns, comparing them in pairs, with a slider indicating the similarity factor, and even an option to highlight differences.

In case you don’t have time to analyze pictures on the spot, you can save the whole project for later processing, or even a log file to use in other projects. Selective pictures can be added to a custom gallery, or simply moved to a different folder. Batch processing is possible, so you don’t waste any time with individual picture manipulation.

On the other hand, you might want to get rid of duplicate files. This can be done through selection, and there’s even the possibility to mark images with higher or lower quality. As a result, you can delete, copy, or move them to a custom location.

On an ending note, Image Comparer is a powerful application that can be used to analyze your picture collection in order to spot out duplicate ones. File support is impressive, thus adding a lot to overall practicality, while the list of actions you can perform is not limited to removal, so you can save, move, or even create new, custom galleries.
