zsDuplicateHunter allows you to easily find duplicate files including music files, image files, text files, and binary files. Duplicates can be in a single folder, in multiple folders on one computer, on an entire computer, or on networked computers. You can search for duplicates only by name, or find exact duplicates by grouping with using Size, Checksums, and Digests. The professional version even allows you to optionally group duplicate files by file extension, path, and timestamp.

When you eliminate duplicates from your computer, you will:
• Save space on your hard drive
• Make your computer run faster
• Speed up your backups
• Make searching for files faster

ZsDuplicateHunter is available in two editions Standard and Professional. The Standard edition contains the basic functionality required to remove duplicate files from your computer. It is intended for users that value safety over power. The Professional edition contains additional ways of grouping duplicate files as well as more powerful tools for deleting files. It is intended for more experienced users that want additional control of the duplicate hunt process as well as more powerful tools to quickly delete duplicate files.

The professional version of zsDuplicateHunter provides seven different methods of deleting duplicate files (4 in the standard edition) to ensure that there is always an easy method of deleting the duplicate files you want removed. And, deleting duplicate files is as safe as possible because zsDuplicateHunter allows you to delete files to a temporary directory and shows you warning messages before files are permanently deleted.

ZsDuplicateHunter runs on Mac OS X (10.3 and later), Windows, and Linux.
