Duplicate finder

Over time, the same image sneaks in twice — a re-capture, a re-imported backup, a saved-again favorite. The duplicate finder scans your library and surfaces them so you can clear the clutter.

Running a scan​

  1. Open the Duplicate finder (from the sidebar / library tools).
  2. Morgue analyzes your images and groups ones with identical content together.
  3. Review the groups it finds.

How matching works​

The finder compares images by their actual content (a content hash), not just filenames or sizes — so two copies of the same image are caught even if they were named differently or captured separately.

Reviewing and removing​

  • Each group shows the duplicates side by side.
  • Keep the one you want and remove the extras.
Your originals are safe

Removing a duplicate deletes the redundant copy, not the reference you're keeping. As always, an export backup before a big cleanup is cheap insurance.

Avoiding duplicates from imports​

When you import a backup, Morgue de-duplicates automatically — re-importing the same .zip won't pile up copies of images, palettes, or boards.
