How it works

01

Upload File Collection

Drop photos, documents, videos, or archives to analyze.

02

Client-Side SHA-256 Hash

Your browser computes unique cryptographic hashes for each file to detect identical content regardless of filename.

03

Review & Audit Storage

Duplicate clusters are clearly grouped with calculated wasted disk space.

Frequently Asked Questions

It hashes the exact byte contents of each file using SHA-256. Even if two files have completely different names or extensions, they are flagged if their actual binary content is identical.

No. All hashing is performed directly on your device via the browser's hardware-accelerated Web Crypto API.

This tool is designed to find exact binary duplicates. If a single pixel or word is modified, the file is recognized as unique.
