This is the reference image I use as demonstration.
It's taken from VisiPics v1.10
- VisiPics supports saving the results to a project file, those directories are saved as full paths. So if you changed to a new computer and files were on your USB, say the pictures were at H: pictures, and now it's assign to J: pictures, you're files will still exists but VisiPics will think it hasn't moved and assume those files are still at H.
- VisiPics is a tool that scans your computer for duplicate image files and deletes them, if yo uno longer need them. The user interface of the program is plain and simple to use.
It hasn't choked and running along smoothly. Yeah, the found dupes 'pages', which are now up to 55, are going to be tough to manage. A 4mhz 6 core processor with 4 gig of ram (FYI: 3.5 usable due to 32 bit XP OS -moving to Kabuntu 64) It is cool to watch the 6 cores each being used so differently by Visipics. That is a fantastic aspect of Visipics.
Algorithm demonstration
A typical test of the comparison algorithm:
Visipics Alternative
- Each picture is looking alike
- They are all black and white, giving few informations
- But they are all different! (it's sometimes not obvious because VisiPics filter them)
See how VisiPics manages to find which ones are pairs, and which ones are not.
Different resolutions
Flowers photos of different resolutions:
- Some are 100x75 (thumbnails)
- Originals are between 400x300 and 500x400
Those look like almost exact similars, VisiPics detect them easily.
Similar pictures
VisiPics sometimes digs interesting pictures when set loose (to allow greater differences).
Two marvelous sunsets, similar, but not the same photo. Which one is your preferred?
Anyone who had tried to cleanup folder with few thousand images knows how disgustingly complex it is (those who had not can make a guess).
Most of utilities for duplicates search rely on file sizes and binary matches. Doesn't work for images which can be present in different sizes, formats and even cropped differently.
Visipics Reviews
VisiPics is specialized duplicates search tool that can analyze actual image content for comparisons.
What it does
VisiPics processes folders you specify and searches for groups of duplicate images.
There are few counters that show how fast images are loaded and compared. Loading is only needed once per session and can be used for re-running multiply comparisons with different settings.
Results can be processed manually or VisiPics can make a guess which duplicates are of worse quality by image dimensions and file size.
Strong features
- excellent performance;
- makes use of dual-core processors;
- supports JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, PCX, TGA and RAW formats;
- detects rotated images (good option for photos but much slower);
- easy (single slider) to control how precise comparisons must be.
Needs and wants
My only gripe is presentation of found images in thin column. When there are lot of those it gets split into pages and is very inconvenient to browse through.
Overall
Awesome freeware app that works without installation and gets task done perfectly. Development is slow (around one version a year) but steady and with continuous improvements.
