How do I find duplicate photos on File Explorer?

Do they have the same name but are saved in different folders?

If not, what properties do you want to sort by?

Have you tried the various 'Arrange by...' options found when you right-click in your Pictures Library (not the folder)?

Or, in your Pictures folder, type:

kind:picture

to get a flat view of all the pictures in all the various sub-folders and be sorted on any property:

If not, give us a better idea of what you want to do.

Using third party software is alot more convenient than searching in file explorer itself. There is not a view that will allow only duplicates to show up in file explorer. You could search for your picture files .jpg .png or whatever file your searching for, then toggle the view by name. This will display all your pictures and sort them by name. From there you can CTRL select all the duplicates and remove. Have you tried doing that?

You can use PowerShell to find duplicates. This finds 2 or more occurrences of a filename within the folder structure it's run from:

PS C:\Users\keith\pictures> gci -file -recurse | sort PSChildName | group PSChildname | ?{$_.Count -gt 1}
