Free Software to Detect and Remove Duplicate Pictures
Although modern desktops are associated with an impressive amount of memory space a large number of pictures can still have an impact upon processing power. VisiPics is a program designed to quickly detect and (if necessary) delete duplicate images. This is often useful for those who regularly modify files or upload images to multiple websites.
Basic Features and Functions
VisiPics is seen as being an excellent alternative when compared to sifting through hundreds of file manually. It offers a unique algorithm which detects repeated files and duplicate checksums. It also analyses images that have been only slightly modified and displays them in a side-by-side format. The name of the file the format type and the size are also shown. There is even an automatic function that selects the image with the higher resolution. Other options include the ability to save the smallest type or the format that occupies the least amount of memory.
Additional and Useful Features
Besides these standard functions VisiPics contains several variables that can be used when browsing through multiple pictures. Similarity levels can be adjusted real-time results are displayed during the scanning process and it can sort through a 15-gigabyte hard drive of pictures in only three hours.

Sorry to say that VisiPics is totally free. There's no purchase at all in the application. Maybe you got one of these fake versions that are everywhere on the net: Only download from the official link, on the official website. More

I was a little concerned about the review that said it cost money, it doesn't. It is however a little confusing to navigate but once I got the hang of it, it did an excellent job. More

It is free, ignore any post that say other wise. I use strict filter, and it accurately found 13k duplicate files of 9k pictures. It processed about 60k files and took a while, but unattended, so who cares. I am not a graphics artist, and jsut wanted to clean up my folders easily and this was perfect. I researched some other products and was confused about what functionality was included in the free versions. And, addware? LOL, this is a plain old .exe file, and reminds me of my old VB days. I personally love the old school, 3D button, dense UI. Give it a try. If your needs are simple, this is the tool. More

Have used it for years and does a great job and gives you great alternatives when picking what to keep and what to get rid of.

Still great comparison software for pictures, and it IS free.
Great comparison software, and it IS free, also removes files for free. Maybe the person who had problems had a hacked version that forces people to pay.
Pros:
Filter to tune the exactness of matches (strict to loose), works very well
Auto-select to select and delete duplicates
Fast enough; checked 25.000 pics within an hour
Runs on Win7 and Win10
Results thumbnails displayed directly, very handy to see duplicates rightaway
Preview pane shows selected picture
Cons:
Last version (1.3) dates from 2013, version 2.0 was never released More

NOT FREE for removal of of anything..
WARNING ! WARNING! THIS IS NOT FREE. I went by the instructions and after an hour+ of downloading pictures I tried to use the automatic button to remove duplicates, it then brought me to a PURCHASE page, BAIT AND SWITCH really upsets me when a company's do this. You can download to scan for free but you cannot REMOVE anything for free. What good is that?
