How to find and delete duplicate photos on your Mac

Photos get imported twice, copied "just in case," and saved from messages and downloads. The duplicates pile up fast and quietly eat gigabytes — and the same image is often saved under different names, which makes them hard to catch.

Match by content, catch every copy

CleanerMac hashes each file by its actual content (SHA-256), so it finds identical photos even when the filenames differ. It scans Pictures, Downloads, Documents and Desktop.

See before you delete

Every set of duplicates is shown side by side with thumbnails. Keep the one you want and send the rest to the Trash — per group, or all groups at once. Because it's the Trash, the originals are always recoverable.

Reclaim space from duplicate photos

Find every copy, keep one, trash the rest.
