PixCompare App Reviews

I don’t write many reviews but I had to for this app. I’ve been using this app before it hit the Mac App store. I’m thrilled that it’s on the Mac App Store! It’s very accurate and I love that it can scan the thousands of images on my NAS drive as well has my hard drive. The comparison can be adjusted and you get a preview of both duplicates that it finds so that you can delete the ones you don’t want. I love being able to compare one image with all the images in a certain folder. One enhancement I’d like to see is to be be able to choose an image and have it compared to images in several folders not just one. If you have a lot of images or photos and you want to find duplicates then get this app. It will save you time and hard disk space.

I’ve used previous versions of this app, so I’m thrilled to see it back in the App Store with an updated version. It has great accuracy, certainly at least as good as PhotoSweeper. My main complaint is that it’s not very fast. Right now, I’m running on a multi-core machine, but maybe one core is really working as it loads files. PhotoSweeper clearly maxes out the CPU and gets results *much* faster. The matching algorithm is clearly more accurate than PhotoSweeper, but I’d love to see the two programs merge - the UI and speed of PhotoSweeper and the matching code from PixCompare. In the meantime, buy both - each will find duplicates the other one misses.

Doesn’t work. A joke of a program. I put in photos that were only slightly different and it says they are very differnet and those that are very different it says are matches.
