How to search for a similar looking file on your computer

[leachim]

Trying to find a utility that does what Google Reverse Image search does - but on your computer

 

ie you pick a picture file and ask this utility to find exact or similar looking files anywhere on your computer

 

Thanks

Not sure, but if you wanted to search for any files matching the same extension and filesize:

 

type:.jpg size:=2345KB

Not used it, but I keep meaning to test: https://www.alldup.de/alldup_help/alldup.php Seems to search "similar" images.

To find identical files, you're better off matching the MD5 hash - but I don't think this is what the OP is asking.

 

Here's a python script that will do it: https://github.com/lene/DuplicateImages

I've used DupeGuru in the past for this kind of thing.
