Similar Photos
Find and clean similar photos in batches.
Short answer: JoyClick includes a similar photo finder that helps you locate and clean up near-duplicate photos in batches.
Similar Photos finds photos that are close to each other — burst shots, near-identical frames and repeated exports — so you can review them in batches and keep the best ones.
