About Duplicate Cleaner

Duplicate Cleaner scans folders for duplicate files and folders, then lets you delete them or move them elsewhere. A wizard helps set up where to look and what to match.

It can find similar images even when they have been edited, rotated or resized, and match music by similar audio, exact content or tags such as artist and title. The Pro edition can match videos by frames, soundtrack or metadata. There is a free edition and a paid Pro edition.

Strengths

  • Finds similar images even after editing or resizing
  • Matches music by audio or tags
  • Option to move duplicates instead of deleting them

Limitations

  • Windows only
  • Video matching requires the paid Pro edition
