What is dupeGuru?

dupeGuru helps you compare folders and review duplicate files before deciding what to remove. Standard mode scans filenames or file contents, Music mode compares music information such as tags, and Picture mode looks for similar images. Filename matching can find near-matches rather than relying only on identical names.

The results can be filtered and sorted, and selected duplicates can be moved or copied instead of deleted. Reference folders let you distinguish files you intend to keep from the other folders being compared.

Choose the scan method for the task: a similar filename or picture is not necessarily an unwanted copy. The publisher documentation warns that similarity matching can produce false positives and slow scanning, so review the results before taking file actions. This entry links to the Windows x64 EXE for version 4.3.1. The gallery image shows an older Windows interface, not a verified capture of this release.
