What is the best duplicate image finder for Windows 11?

You’re thinking about using ImegeMagick as a best duplicates photo finder on Windows 11? That’s a pretty advanced way, and honestly, it’s cool because it’s super flexible. But from my own experience and what I’ve seen folks struggle with. If you’re not used to command lines, it can be a nightmare. Remember typing in commands, interpreting outputs, and understanding metrics like PSNR? It’s not exactly “plug and play.” If you mess up even a little, you might end up with confusing results or accidentally delete the wrong images.

The hash method only detects files that are byte-for-byte identical. Resize, crop, or edit a photo? Bam, it’s not recognized as a duplicate anymore. Same with the pixel comparison; it’s good for exact copies but not for similar or edited images. So, if you want to find all similar photos, not just identical ones, this is kinda limited.

ImegeMagick just compares and shows differences; it doesn’t help you decide what to delete or manage duplicates. You’d have to manually review the difference images or hashes and then delete files yourself. It’s more of a technical tool than a “clean-up” solution.

If you just want a quick, easy way to free up space, using command-line tools like ImegeMagick can be overkill. There are dedicated duplicate photo finders that do all the heavy lifting with a user-friendly interface, save you time, and are less prone to user error.
