Manually Find Mac Duplicate Photos
Use the Finder application to sort all files by their names. Looking out for duplicate photos by relying on the file name and spotting the photo visually isn’t a bad trick, but it will require a lot of time, energy, and most importantly a high degree of concentration on your part to prevent any data being deleted accidentally as well as any duplicates escaping the knife. If your image collection runs into several GBs, this task promises to take a long time and test your patience.
- Click the Finder icon on the Doc.
- Now click on the File menu, select New Smart Folder.
- Click the Plus (+) sign on the toolbar.
- Select the file type you want to search for via the Kind drop-down box.

- Click the Plus (+) sign again and select the Content option in the Kind drop-down box.
- Type a common text you want to search for.
- Wait for a moment and you would be able to see the list of all files.
- Check for files with similar names.
- Click and drag the duplicate files to the Trash.
