If your system is stacked with duplicate and similar-looking images, all you need is a tool that can accurately detect and clean duplicates. Copies of the same pictures not only take up tons of storage space but also decreases systems performance.

Luckily, with the help of a standalone and system tweaking tool, you can clean replicas of hidden pictures. But which one should we use? Should we use a standalone or an optimization suite?

To answer this question, here’s a difference between Duplicate Photos Fixer and CCleaner.

Duplicate Photos Fixer Vs CCleaner:

Both these programs are available for Windows and Mac. As we all know, one of these is a system cleanup utility while the other as the name suggests is a standalone utility.

Using this ideal duplicate photo cleaner software, in a click or two, you can sort all duplicates, organize your snap collection, and can also reclaim gigabytes of storage space.

Duplicate Photo Fixer Pro – Features:

Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro also known as (DPF) is an amazing program. The sole purpose of this tool is to scan and identify duplicate images sitting on the hard disk. Some of its highlighted features are

Scan for Duplicates – Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro as the name implies scans the system for exact replicas and similar files. To differentiate between these files, this extraordinary tool uses an advanced algorithm and compares all the images on your PC. Most importantly, the comparison is not based on file name or size, there are different parameters for comparison.

Supports external images – Alongside scanning the internal storage, Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro also scans external media like pen drives, SD cards, etc. This means without copying files and folders to the PC, by simply attaching the media to the system you can find, detect and remove saved duplicate images.

Scan for Similar Images – Apart from locating exact duplicates, another outstanding feature of this excellent duplicate cleaner and finder is its capability to identify similar and near-identical images.

Auto-Mark Duplicates – To make duplicate image selection easy, once the scanning is done, you can use the auto mark option and select all duplicates leaving one copy in each group unmarked. This way without sifting through the list of hundreds and thousands of duplicates you can easily clean the detected duplicates.

Comparison modes – Two comparison modes are given to let the user decide what type of images he would like to scan the system for. Using either Exact Match or Similar Match, duplicate or similar photos can be detected. Also, users can increase or decrease the ratio of detection like GPS, Time Intervals, Matching Levels, and Bitmap Size.

CCleaner

Available for: Windows 10, 8, 7, Mac, Android & iOS

Latest Version – v5.78.8558

USP – File Finder Customization

Price – $24.95

CCleaner by Piriform is one of the most popular system optimization tools. Though it was attacked, it remains to be one of the popular cleanup tools. After reading this, you must be thinking about what a PC Cleaner is doing here. Well, to answer that CCleaner does offer a dedicated Duplicate Finder. This means, alongside cleaning system junk, optimizing performance also helps scan the system for duplicate and identical images.

As we compare Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro and CCleaner, we will only discuss the duplicate cleaning feature offered by CCleaner. The Duplicate Finder tool added in the CCleaner application is fine but it is not as good as the Duplicate Photos Fixer developed by Systweak.

While comparing both the tools, we found that CCleaner performs various other tasks. Hence, its duplicate scanning engine is not advanced. Also, it does not offer a customization option and easy ways to select detected duplicates.

The File Finder tool of CCleaner has limited functionality, it only compares file name, file size, and file formats. This is not an effective way to detect and clean duplicates as this leaves a lot of files. However with Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro, this is not the case, the tool offers several features and options to scan for similar and duplicate photos.

Specifications:

Operating System	Windows 7, 8, 10
CPU	400 MHZ or higher
RAM	256 MB
Storage Space	30 MB
Price	Free for Home Use

Pros and Cons:

CCleaner Features:

Scans System for all Duplicate Files – CCleaner doesn’t focus on one area. This means it scans the system for all types of duplicates. Certainly, this helps clean all types of duplicates but no one knows the efficiency.

Easy to Use. CCleaner is easy to use and performs various operations.

Free of Cost. Offers both free and paid versions and the Duplicate Finder is included in the free version for home use only.

How to Use:

Step 1: Download and Install CCleaner on your system.

Step2: Launch the app and click the Tools button on the left panel.

Step 3:  Next, select Duplicate Finder > drive you to wish to scan and click the Search button.

Step4: Wait for the process to finish. Unlike Duplicate Photos Fixer the scan results will not show any preview. You will have to use your discretion for it.

Now that you know about the specifications of all the three apps discussed, let us compare them:

Reason To Buy- Cleans junk files, duplicates, and performs other tasks.

Additional Tip: If the Free part of CCleaner attracts you, let me remind you that CCleaner detects duplicates based on file name and size. This means even if the data is duplicate CCleaner will fail to detect it. While Duplicate Photos Fixer detects duplicates based on content this makes it accurate and trustworthy.

Wrap Up:

To conclude, Duplicate Photo Fixer Pro for me is the best tool to detect duplicate images and it is the winner on the parameters.  What do you think about it?

Do share your thoughts and experiences with me in the comments section below. Some might think CCleaner is a better option, but if you are looking for a tool to clean duplicates then not. However, if you want a system optimization and cleanup tool then CCleaner works best.

Now the ball in your court decides which tool you want to use and share the same with us.
