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