How to Easily Delete Duplicates In Mac Photos (By Image Contents Too!)

How do I remove duplicates on the icloud? If this isn't possible, how do I move them to the photos app so I can use Photosweeper on them?

Doesn't work on Mac M1

Thanks for the video,The best APP👌

You totally saved my bacon! I kept deleting the Photosweeper (Trash) album and a day later all my duplicates were suddenly back...derp! Your explanation of selecting all the album items, moving them to the trash, and then select all, and CMD Delete was genius!! Appreciate the help, and my dups are now actually gone. ;-)

Will the app also scan my external drive? Ive placed most pics there.

I was hoping not to spend money on an app that I would use once.

Hi, is there a way to do a sequential batch rename in "Photos App"?

Thank you! Just got it. It cleared out over 100k duplicates. 🙌

this is FANTASTIC thank you !!!

how to give permission to trash?

it won't let me add the photos app

nice video, it is simply ridiculous that Photos app can't handle duplicates and people have to spend 20 dollars for a simple feature. I will definitely stop using Photos app, probably stop using Mac/iPhones too, Apple is getting worse every day :(

I really don't understand why Apple doesn't already have this as a feature in the Photos app.

Thank you, I have been manually deleting photos but every time I do I'm totally overwhelmed by the number of duplicate photos.

What about if I have photos on a hard drive that I don't want to put into Photos? They've made a duplicate but added '1' in the file name? TIA

9000 duplicates later, this was so helpful. Thank you !

Thanks for the video. I got the app and it worked just like you described in your video.

A question, if I may. I have several libraries, let's call them USA, France, UK, Italy and so on. When in France I may have taken hundreds of photos, but only the best will be put in the France album. That means there may be scores of similar photos of, say, the Eiffel Tower; but only one of them will have made it to the album. If I then attempt to de-duplicate the Library, how can I establish which of the duplicates I am offered is the one I want to keep (because it is in the album)?

THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE VIDEO

If you want to Empty the iPhone Gallery by moving all files over to a Folder on the Mac. This is how to do it.
1) Connect the iPhone to the Mac
2) On the Mac, Open "image capture"
NOTE: if you cannot see gallery, put phone into flight mode (Apple will provent u from seeing gallery unless its launched in safe mode, which plain mode kinda is)
3) Wait for all photo/videos to load, then click select all or CTRL + A.
4) Click the 3 dots icon, and select "Delete after Transfer" which will delete the files one by one after they are automatically transferred.

other way to transfer usually crash, and stop. means you are not aware of which was successful transferred and which wasnt. but the way I tell you, u will have photo delete right after transfer. and that's one by one. means if it was to crash, and stop. you know you can safely repeat and continue where u crashed.

Thanks a lot. This was a really helpful video. Hello from Sri Lanka

Careful with this App it will mark SIMILAR PHOTOS as duplicates not EXACT DUPLICATES... almost messed up 2000 pictures from a photoshoot. CAREFUL !!!! worse 10.00 ever spent!

Question. I'm in the process of scanning all of our printed photos to make sure we have all of them digitized. (Thousands, both printed and already in Apple Photos.... this is a huge project.) I'm assuming that this app, particularly with method #3, will match up scanned photos with those we downloaded digitally, and we can continue with the trash process from there.... yes? Or?

I paid for the app following your video and although it did delete many duplicates, there are still hundreds left. I tried the process a few times again, and each time it only picked up one or two duplicates - still leaving masses in my iphoto library. Any suggestions/advice?

Once marked photos were moved to Trash (PhotoSweeper), can you put them back in the photo library? I changed my mind abut the preferences (didn't realize the first time I used this that you could do this) and want to start all over again.

I’ve been looking for this app for years. Thanks!

Excellent ... Well done ...

Thank you very much. I just got my new MacBook Pro and I am an absolute beginner so this is enormous help. And have thousands of photos

I have Photosweeper. I do not have the PHOTOS (MAC) after going into my name. I've tried multiple times and I can only get into pictures which does not have my photos. Thoughts?

Have they changed the ribbon that displays on the photo when you are viewing an image in the Apple Photos Library? Mine is not a photos logo, but it looks like a camera lens.

Thank you for this information. I purchased the PhotoSweeper app, but I don't see anything about a Loose Photos folder. Is this something I need to set up apart from having the app? Thanks again!

Thank you so much!!!

It's only $10 now, even better :) thank you so much for this helpful video.

hello. once we trash photos to trash marked ...it doesn't ask to launch photos, nor is there any album formed on the photos which is named as photosweeper trash album.......

any free Apps?

THANK YOU!!!! SOOOOOO MUCH!!! Unbelievable!!! I deleted over 11.000 duplicate picture from my Lib. THANK YOU for SHARING your knowledge!

Unfortunately, each time I clear out the duplicates, they return en masse. I still haven't worked out why.

Can this be done on cloud?

thanks for explaining a great and simple app to delete all my duplicates. well

This is so disappointing, just trying to sell a 20 USD app instead of helping us deleting duplicates

Does this work for videos?

This was great, thank you! Worked perfectly!

Thank you so helpful, have been manually deleting duplicates for years this was so easy!!!!

Just tried to buy this app, Not available????

Ok so this is great!!! I have had a "Mac Expert" ( turned out not to be much of an expert) in my house to do some work for me some time ago to get photos orginized mostly. Since he did his crappy magic I now have tons of duplicates and some have even added a "1" to their name. same photo just an extra 1 in the file name. Would this app help with this issue? also what kind of service do you provide? I have just purchased a new Mac mini and wish to start fresh. Thanks in advance

Thank You - Great Video. Very Helpful. Great app recommendation

Export photos to disc.

Thanks for the video, very very helpful.
I got a photo library of 73,000 images and video. Took out almost 2400 duplicates.

When I drag a duplicate photo in, Photos does not identify it as a duplicate photo nor ask me if I want to import it. I simply imports it. Help??

Thank you for everything sir !
