Duplicate Detection. Put an End to Duplicate Files

Duplicate Detection. Put an End to Duplicate Files

Detect duplicates automatically and save storage space and administrative overhead.

Once is enough

Duplicate files waste storage space, cause confusion, and make management cumbersome. footage.one detects duplicates automatically — on upload and across your existing library.

Detection on upload

Before a file enters the system, footage.one checks:

  • Identical files: Exact copies are recognised immediately
  • Near-identical media: Slightly different versions (e.g. different compression) are flagged as potential duplicates
  • Decision support: You see both versions side by side and decide

Library analysis

  • Full archive scan: Find existing duplicates across your entire media library
  • Grouping: Duplicates are displayed in a clear, grouped view
  • Batch cleanup: Delete duplicates in one go, with a safety net

Checksums and fingerprinting

  • Hash-based detection: Cryptographic checksums identify bit-perfect copies
  • Perceptual hashing: Visually similar images are recognised even at different resolutions
  • Audit trail: Every decision is documented
