Do you feel that your Mac’s storage space is ending mysteriously? If yes, you are in the right place.
Accumulation of duplicate JPG photos has always been a great problem for almost every Mac user, especially if the user is a creative professional. Duplicates not only mess up with the user’s time but also waste a lot of storage space that could be used effectively otherwise.
1) Automatic Duplicate Photo Finder Software Program
You know what? Now, there are several tools that could help you sweep up your Mac device and regain loads of storage space. One of the reliable duplicate finders for Mac that allow this is Clones File Checker.
Not just with JPG images, but CFC also works with several other types of files including:
- Images [JPG, JPEG, PNG etc.]
- Videos
- Archives
- Compressed Files
- Audios
- And many more!
The program is user-friendly and works in 4 simple steps. Here is how:
Step 1: Customize your scan by setting file size or file type. Set a range for the file sizes you want to include in your search.
Step 2: View the results. Thanks to the sophisticated algorithms of CFC, the scan barely takes any time.
Step 3: Apply different filters such as file location, oldest, newest, least modified, most modified etc. Then view your scan results according to the filters you have applied.
Step 4: Finally, either remove the duplicates detected permanently (automatically or after viewing them manually) or simply relocate them.
Although the process is already pretty simple, if you still face any trouble, you could go to Clone File Checker official website and see video tutorials that will guide you pretty well.
2) Manual Removal of Duplicate JPG Photos
Finding and removing duplicate files manually would take forever. However, if for some reason you still prefer that, we will guide you with a manual method too. To remove duplicates manually, first, you need to sort all your files according to the file size.
Step 1: Open Finder and head to the Apple menu.
Step 2: Go to File | New Smart Folder.
Step 3: In the top right corner, you will see a plus button. Choose a search parameter. The options you would get include Date, Name, File Type, Kind, and a few more in the Others section. If you want to look for duplicate JPG photos, select Kind and then JPG.
Now you will be able to see the search results. Once you identify the duplicate images from the list displayed in front of you, you can delete them manually. However, as mentioned earlier, this is going to take a lot of time.
Unless you want to waste your time removing duplicates manually or you want to waste your money buying several different external hard drives, we suggest you use Clone Files Checker and get rid of all the junk accumulated within your Mac device in no time!
