Press Release 841 Published by

Lakehorn AG today announces PixCompare 5.0 for macOS. Based on a very fast algorithm, PixCompare is used to search for duplicates or similar pictures in large collections of picture files and folders.



PixCompare 5.0 was redesigned from the ground up. A new graphical results view helps users to find and delete duplicate pictures easier than ever. A new, darker design highlights photo content in a much better way. Also, the new version is fully compatible with the new macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

PixCompare is based on a very fast algorithm that was developed and improved over the last 20 years. It only uses parts of the actual photo to compare them to one another, including additional photo properties, like location or date. This results in an excellent performance. PixCompare is a proper macOS app, following all Apple guidelines for making a clean and familiar user experience.

The whole comparison process executes on the user's devices - photos are never transmitted to any third party, therefore the privacy of the pictures is guaranteed.

PixCompare Features
* Find duplicate and similar pictures in a folder of pictures
* Move pictures directly to the trash folder
* Display results as groups of similar pictures or as a list of similar pairs of pictures
* Compare one picture to a folder of other pictures
* Use macOS built-in Quicklook to display pictures in full size
* Works best on photographic pictures, file formats supported: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIF, HEIC, and most RAW files.

PixCompare can match two pictures even when:
* One of them is grayscale
* They don't have the same size / aspect ratio
* The contrast / intensity is different
* They have a different pixel-depth
* And when one of them is blurred or rotated

Language Support:
PixCompare is localised for English, German, French, and Japanese languages.

System Requirements:
* macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) or higher
* 64-bit processor
* 7.0 MB
