Disk deduper

A desktop app that will help you find and deal with file duplicates on you drive

Features

  • Blazingly fast - due to using more or less advanced algorithms and multithreading
  • Free, Open Source without ads
  • Cache support - second and further scans will be miles faster than the first one
  • GUI frontend - uses QT 5 framework
  • Multiple tools to use:
    • View and manage duplicates - Finds duplicates based on file name or hash
    • Automatic deduplication - You select a master folder and slave folders, it finds duplicates and moves them into a folder you specify.
    • Extension filter - Choose which extensions to white(black)list
    • Similar Images - Finds images which are not exactly the same (different resolution, watermarks)
    • File stats - Gather metadata from files (e.g. EXIF for images) and display it a nice table
      • Currently supports
        • Audio metadata - (Album, Artist, Genre, Title)
        • Video / Image metadata - (Camera model/manufacturer, Width, Height)
        • Video metadata - (Duration)
        • Other - (Creation date)
    • EXIF rename - Bulk rename files following a template (cut down version of KRename)

Planned features

  • Windows support
  • Cli frontend
  • Translations

Supported OS

Linux - (Only tested on Arch, but should work almost anywhere) Windows - Not yet

Similar apps

My application is not the only one on the Internet, there are many similar applications which do some things better and some things worse:

GUI

  • DupeGuru - Many options to customize; great photo compare tool
  • FSlint - A little outdated, but still have some tools not available in Czkawka
  • AntiDupl.NET - Shows a lot of metadata of compared images
  • Video Duplicate Finder - Finds similar videos(surprising, isn't it), supports video thumbnails
  • Czkawka - Simple and fast, find duplicates, empty folders, big files, etc. has GTK and CLI frontends
