Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is an application dedicated to those users who want to sanitize their virtual space and remove identical or highly similar images from their machine to gain more space for other elements.

With this program, what baffled me, was the good use of percentage values, which accurately indicate the similarity rate between two identical files. Of course, you need to submit a location for analysis, first and also choose the element to which the element with which the app must compare your photos.

The result is a long list of color-coded elements. Green indicates 100% similarity, meaning identical photos with anything below that value can turn up being yellow, high rate of similarity, or red, with low levels of similarity.

The values can be changed of course, other than the 100% mark which stays the same no matter what. One can add multiple folders in the mix for analysis, then adjust the comparison model and also adjust the level of similarity that is to be of interest in this scanning procedure. Choose the way your results will show up and the caching method too.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder surprised me with its simplicity and efficient system of similarity identification. If you're looking to clean or simply remove similar pictures, this program is worth a try. Just keep in mind that the program does not take blurry pictures into account when displaying the high similarity mark so better tweak your values or manually check items before deleting if you don't want a tragedy on your hands.
