A Straightforward Way To Detect Duplicates In A Specific Folder

Why Do Duplicate Photos Appear In A Specific Folder?

Duplicate photos may appear in a specific folder for various reasons. Here are some common causes:

Manual Copying or Saving:If you manually copy or save images to a folder and forget that the files already exist there, you wind up with duplicates.

Importing from Multiple Sources:Duplicates may arise when you import images into the same folder from various cameras, devices, or cloud services, particularly if the pictures have identical names.

Syncing Issues:Duplicates can occasionally result from automatic syncing or backup procedures, particularly when involving several devices or cloud services.

File Renaming:You may inadvertently make duplicates if you rename files and save them in the same folder.

Software Glitches:Duplicate files can occasionally be created as a result of system or program bugs.
