Nowadays huge amounts of hard disks on our computers allow us to save tons necessary and unnecessary information: music, video, documents, books, images etc. We can afford to store whatever we want unlimited time (we just think so). But finally we always get a message from our OS like “space is over”. What should we do in such case?

Of course we can buy another hard disk and forget about such messages for a short while. But also we can find and delete tons of “garbage” that filled free space. One of the most reliable methods is find and remove duplicate files.

There are many programs that offer to find and remove duplicate music, video, text files. But what about duplicates of image files. Sure, many programs can find all duplicated files just only by size and remove them. But there can be different size in two images that saved in different formats even if content of file is an equal.

In such case we need a program that has algorithms to find duplicate image files not only by extension or size but also by content.
