Fastest Duplicate File Finder (formerly Fast Duplicate File Finder)

As the name suggests, Fastest Duplicate File Finder is a tool designed to locate duplicate files rapidly. It comes with a user-friendly interface and resourceful options to suit everyone's preferences.

The main application window has a clean aspect and well-structured layout. You can get started by specifying the folders you want to check for duplicates, and it possible to include as many directories as you want.

As far as file filters are concerned, you can include and exclude dimensions, establish the earliest and latest creation date, as well as input the minimum and maximum size. Plus, you can ask the tool to verify hidden, compressed, temporary and system files as well.

Files can be compared by name, content, size, date of creation, date taken (image only) and title (music only). Results show total original files and their duplicates, reclaimable size, along with selected and deselected items, while log details reveal task time, scanned files, identified duplicates, total file size, and total reclaimable size.

Advanced selection options are available as well, and they focus on newer or older files, and folders with subfolders, among others. Settings can be saved for further tasks.

Fastest Duplicate File Finder has minimal impact on computer performance, using low CPU and RAM. It is very responsive and carries out scan jobs rapidly and thoroughly. We have not come across any issues in our tests, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs.

Fastest Duplicate File Finder proves to be a pretty reliable tool for identifying and eliminating duplicate files to free up HDD space.
