The presence of duplicate files has always been a big pain in the neck among computer users. And the same holds true for similar images, images that bear a strikingly close resemblance to each other but aren\u2019t identical enough to be categorized as duplicates. Both of these issues result in the user facing the same kind of consequences. The hard disk gets filled up with data that is of no use, the <\/span>Internet<\/b> bandwidth gets wasted for no good, there is a whole lot of clutter and organizing the data becomes a lot harder than before.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is why there are numerous software solutions available in the market to take care of such irritants. This article demonstrates how to categorize visually similar photos in the file system in terms of the image resolution. We will be using <\/span>PictureEcho<\/b> to do the needful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution<\/b><\/h2>\n

We will be making intelligent use of <\/span>File Explorer<\/b>\/ <\/span>Windows Explorer<\/b> a well as <\/span>PictureEcho<\/b> to achieve our objective of detecting visually similar images by their image resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. First of all, locate the folder where any similar images are present. In <\/span>Windows<\/b>, the pictures are usually stored in the <\/span>Pictures<\/b> folder.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. In the search bar, type the respective <\/span>Query Syntax <\/b>to search for photos\/ images under or overstated resolution. The following syntax searches for pictures that are under <\/span>1000px<\/b> for width and less than <\/span>600px<\/b> for height. Some examples are provided in the following lines to help our readers develop a fair bit of the understanding of the syntax.

      \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0> kind:picture Width:1920 Height:1080 (Brings up images with a resolution of 1920px x 1080px)
      \n<\/b><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0> kind:picture Width:>1920 Height:>1080 (Brings up images that are over 1920px in width and more than 1080px in height)
      \n<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0> kind:picture Width:<1920 Height:<1080 (Brings up images that are less than 1920px in width and less than 1080px in height)
      \n<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0> kind:picture Width:>1920 Height:<1080 (Brings up images that are over 1920px in width and less than 1080px in height)

    3. The search query fetches results pretty fast and displays them.\n
