Photo AuditorFind duplicate photos.
Group photos by face.
Photo Auditor cleans up a photo folder right in your browser: it finds the copies that waste disk space and sorts every photo by who is in it. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works
Three steps, and the first two only read your files.
Choose a folder
Pick any folder of photos on your computer or an external drive. Subfolders are included.
Scan
One click finds faces and duplicates. Everything runs on your own machine.
Review and clean up
Name people, remove the copies you choose, or sort photos into folders. Each change is shown before it happens.
Private by design
Most online photo tools need you to upload your library. Photo Auditor does not have a server to upload to: the face recognition and duplicate detection run in your browser tab, on your own processor.
No upload
Photos are read straight from your disk and stay there.
No account
Nothing to sign up for, and no email address needed.
Read-only until you say so
The browser asks your permission before any file is changed.
Questions and answers
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Photo Auditor runs entirely inside your browser. Your photos are read from your disk, analysed on your own computer, and never sent to a server.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account to create and nothing to install.
Which browsers does it work in?
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on a Windows, Mac, Linux or ChromeOS computer. Safari, Firefox and phone browsers cannot open a folder from your disk, so they are not supported.
Which photo formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF. Other files in the folder are skipped and left untouched.
Will it delete anything without asking?
No. Scanning only reads your files. Nothing is renamed, moved or deleted until you choose the files and confirm. You can also set duplicates aside in a separate folder instead of deleting them.
Can deleted photos be recovered?
No. A browser cannot move files to the Trash or Recycle Bin, so a delete is permanent. If you are unsure, use "Set aside" first: the copies are moved to a review folder and can be put back with one click.
How does it decide which copy to keep?
It suggests the copy with the most pixels, then the largest file, then the oldest. You can change the choice for any group before removing anything.
How long does a scan take?
A few minutes for a large folder the first time. Results are saved in your browser, so later visits only look at new or changed photos.
