AI in charge: The greatest feature of this duplicate file remover is that it has a self-learning algorithm.Plus, it’s easy to switch between duplicates and similars. Select, group, and remove duplicates in a few seconds. In Gemini 2 you have a neat interface with all the files ready to be closely examined with a click. Visual results: To decide what to get rid of, you need a closer look at each file.That’s why it only takes one scan to find and delete every extra file. For instance, it will scan your iTunes, Photos, hard drive, old folders you’ve forgotten about, and any other place on your Mac that might have duplicates. Images, music, videos: Gemini 2 looks for all kinds of files in all folders and libraries.The selection is based on a unique smart algorithm and instead of reviewing each file or folder separately, you can just click to remove all duplicates in one move. Smart selection: Gemini 2 scans your whole Mac in search of duplicates and pre-selects those that can be deleted safely.PhotoSweeper doesn’t only work with photos, btw, but also videos and PDFs. My brief description of it definitely doesn’t do it justice, so if you’re trying to deduplicate photos I’d recommend checking it out-it’s paid, but they have a quite limited trial that will allow you to see if it’ll work for your use case. One challenge for me was to keep the versions of photos and videos that had the correct creation timestamps, and it made it much easier than any other tool that I’ve tried (it surfaces much more metadata about the photos when reviewing the duplicates). It’s just so much more customizable, plus it can search your entire Apple Photos library in a much better way than Gemini (works with photos not stored on your Mac as long as you’re comparing photos that look like each other, not exactly the same file-but this of course also includes exact replicas), and much more.

The bad news is that I’ve still not found a better general-purpose deduplication tool than Gemini. Sorry for reviving an old thread, but since I’ve been looking for a better alternative to Gemini II lately and have partially succeeded I figured I’d finally join the forum (I’ve been lurking for a while) to share my findings… heic files (I may be wrong, but this newer file format might not be in its coded ability to “see”). Is there a more modern utility than Gemini II? I don’t think it can properly “see” the. … BUT there has to be a way to automate this. jpgs with duplicates and (CTL+selecting the others) grabbing just the intermittent JPGs and deleting them. I spent some time physically highlighting the. It’s not as easy as “sorting by type and deleting a chunk of JPGs” because there are some JPGs in there without a corresponding. This is the mixed and (a little bit) “messed up” Dropbox folder labeled “Camera Uploads.” One failure: It did not tag photos where I have one version as a. … It helped me find and move some duplicate photos & files (not deleting at this moment, because I am uncertain about the files portion…).
