- Duplicate Photo Cleaner
Duplicate Photo Cleaner uses a true SHA-1 checksum file compare to ACCURATELY find legitimate duplicates. This basically means that it finds all TRUE duplicate files by looking at the actual HASH value. Renaming a file with a different name doesn’t change this. Similar photos are not exact duplicates and do not have the same hash value.
If the photo contents are altered, then it is no longer a legitimate duplicate and Duplicate Photo Cleaner will not flag it as a duplicate.
