DupShelf

Clean duplicate photos on your laptop (India-friendly, private)

Slow internet and large galleries make cloud duplicate cleaners painful. DupShelf runs locally so you can clean a full laptop library without uploading gigabytes.

Open DupShelf How it works

Common situations in India

WhatsApp forwards and status saves in Downloads
Multiple copies after Google Photos or Drive sync
Festival and wedding photo bursts from phones
Shared USB drives between family members

Scenario: laptop storage warning at 95%

Start with Downloads and Desktop image folders (often 5–20 GB of duplicates). Scan, move exact copies to dupshelf-duplicate-images, delete that folder after review, then scan Pictures if you still need space.

Scenario: slow home broadband

Cloud cleaners upload your entire library first. DupShelf never uploads photos, so cleanup works on patchy Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot without burning data.

Scenario: shared family laptop

Each person’s WhatsApp saves may duplicate the same festival album. Scan the shared Downloads folder once, pick one keeper per group, and avoid deleting unique photos by mistake (exact match only).

Works on everyday hardware

Start with a smaller folder if RAM is limited. Progress, cancel, and estimated move time are built in. Scan Downloads first, then Pictures or an external drive.

Questions

Is my data sent outside India?: Photos are processed on your device in the browser. We do not receive your image files.
Chromebook or 4 GB RAM laptop?: Scan one subfolder at a time (e.g. Downloads only). Close other tabs during large scans.
