Duplicate Photos PC finds every copy of the same image on your PC — exact matches, burst frames, resized messenger sends, slightly edited versions — and lets you move the extras to the Recycle Bin with a single click. Everything stays recoverable until you empty the bin.
Phone backups pile up. Vacation folders get copied to multiple drives. Screenshots land in Downloads and Pictures both. Messenger apps resave images. Camera burst mode creates dozens of nearly-identical frames. Over months and years, these duplicates silently consume tens of gigabytes — storage you're paying for or losing to a full disk.
Duplicate Photos PC walks through your folders, groups identical and near-identical images together, and shows you exactly which copies are safe to remove. The app handles both byte-for-byte matches (same file, copied twice) and visual duplicates (the same photo, slightly cropped or edited).
Most tools promise to delete duplicates, but leave you anxious about what's actually gone. Duplicate Photos PC uses the Windows Recycle Bin as a safety net. Every file you delete lands there first. If you realize you kept the wrong copy, Recycle Bin's undo is one click away. Nothing vanishes until you empty the bin yourself — a Windows action, not the app.
The app also catches what others miss. Burst frames from your camera look almost identical but aren't byte-for-byte copies. A photo you sent via messenger was resaved by the app, so it's not an exact match. The same vacation shot, but you cropped this one slightly. Perceptual hashing finds these near-duplicates without needing AI, cloud uploads, or internet access. Everything happens on your PC, offline.

It goes to Recycle Bin, not shredded. Right-click the bin and restore it. You can also use Windows file recovery if the bin has already been emptied, though that's a Windows feature, not part of this app.
Yes. You can scan internal drives, USB drives, SD cards, and network shares mounted as a drive letter. Cloud-only folders (Google Photos, iCloud) that aren't mirrored to your disk are not supported.
