DupShelf

Find duplicate photos before you back up

Backing up duplicates wastes disk space and upload time. One local scan before backup means your next snapshot is leaner.

Backup pain without dedup

A 500 GB photo library with 80 GB of exact duplicates still backs up 500 GB. Removing duplicates first shrinks the archive and speeds cloud sync.

Scan the library folder → move duplicates to dupshelf-duplicate-images → verify → delete duplicate folder → run your normal backup tool.

Will backup software skip the duplicate folder?: It will back up whatever is on disk. Delete dupshelf-duplicate-images only after you are sure you do not need those copies.
