Duplicate Image Finder

Overview

Duplicate Image Finder is a Python-based utility that identifies and isolates duplicate images within a specified directory. This tool operates by creating unique SHA-256 hash values for each image file using Python's hashlib module. It then compares these hashes to discover duplicate files. When duplicates are detected, they are moved to a separate 'duplicates' folder within the selected directory.

Usage

  1. Execute the script.
  2. When prompted in the terminal, enter the directory you wish to scan for duplicate images.
  3. The script will then traverse the directory and all its subdirectories, examining '.png' and '.jpg' files.
  4. If duplicates are detected, they are moved to a new 'duplicates' folder within the selected directory.
