Tools to deduplicate files
https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me.

AllDup suddenly taking forever to process/delete selections
Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it.

Is there a file duplicate finder that works with animated jpegxl-gif?
For static images i used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when i used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright?

PhotoPrism: Browse Your Life in Pictures
I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/
But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
Unfortunately, neither of these are integrated into Photoprism, so you still have to do some file management outside the database before importing.
I also haven't used Photoprism extensively yet (I think it's running on one of my boxes, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up), but I did find that it wasn't really built for file-based libraries. It's a little more heavyweight, but my research shows that Nextcloud Memories might be a better choice for me (it's not the first-party Nextcloud photos app, but another one put together by the community): https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories

Please don't post like 20 similar images to the art sites?
Czkawka can do this.

I'm amazed how I find anything & why I have so many dupes!
There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.
- I saw a post regarding crate to delete similar files

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
My preferred solution is rmlint [https://github.com/sahib/rmlint] mostly because it also looks at duplicate directories. It produces a bash script instead of deleting anything itself, so you can examine it before running the script it made.

ZFS 2.2.0 (RC): Block Cloning merged
After I removed duplicates (with help of https://github.com/sahib/rmlint ), I migrated my photos to an ordinary zpool instead.

I decluttered 14,000 digital items within a few hours. Here's how I did it.
For the technically savvy among you there is an excellent open source program called ‘rmlint’ (aka. Remove Lint). It is excellent at finding duplicates and saved me terabytes of space.

Looking for Powerful Deduplication software
You don’t say if you are on Windows or Unix. I have used rmlint successfully in the past.

the very best anti-duplicate app ?
dupeguru or rmlint

deleting duplicates programs?
rmlint, my friend, is the last tool you will ever need for this
- script to remove redundant parent directories
- Is there software that scans for duplicates?
- data hoarding software

Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
I use and test assorted duplicate finders regularly.
fdupes is the classic (going way way back) but it's really very slow, not worth using anymore.
The four I know are worth trying these days (depending on data set, hardware, file arrangement and other factors, any one of these might be fastest for a specific use case) are https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes , https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind , https://github.com/jvirkki/dupd , https://github.com/sahib/rmlint
Had not encountered fclones before, will give it a try.
What are some alternatives?
dupeguru - Find duplicate files
jdupes - A powerful duplicate file finder and an enhanced fork of 'fdupes'.
rdfind - find duplicate files utility
fdupes - FDUPES is a program for identifying or deleting duplicate files residing within specified directories.
AntiDupl - A program to search similar and defect pictures on the disk
fclones - Efficient Duplicate File Finder
PhotoPrism - AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web 🌈💎✨
darktable - darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer
rsync - An open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. It also has useful features for backup and restore operations among many other use cases.
