UtiliVera Duplicates for Windows

Find wasted space.
Keep the right copy.

A compact, offline duplicate manager that proves exact matches, keeps approximate media review-only, and makes every cleanup reversible.

Unsigned download: the installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show “Unknown publisher” or a reputation warning. Download only from utilivera.com and verify the SHA-256 checksum. Exact SHA-256: 81654330CE07F634AAF3FD29B742B0E401AF8E5849E4EE13EBF357889DEECA34. In PowerShell run Get-FileHash .\UtiliVeraDuplicates-Setup-Windows-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256. Independent installer Round 2 passed every internal engineering gate; trusted signing will be added after certificate approval.

Broad enough for real collections

Exact files, photos, audio, video, folders, and archives.

Every mode states whether it proves identical content or only suggests a match for human review.

01

Prove exact duplicates

SHA-256 narrows candidates, then a byte-for-byte check proves that two files really contain the same data.

02

Review similar media safely

Find resized or rotated photos, matching audio, and related video frames without treating approximate matches as safe to auto-delete.

03

Keep the right copy

Protect reference folders, keep the newest, oldest, shortest path, or a name-pattern match, and see the reason beside every decision.

04

Undo cleanup

Use the Recycle Bin or a verified quarantine ledger. Restore returns the file to its original path and verifies its contents.

05

Replace copies with hard links

Keep both paths while reclaiming physical storage. A durable recovery ledger can reconstruct independent copies later.

06

Repeat professional scans

Save profiles and sessions, reuse a persistent hash cache, export CSV/JSON/HTML, or automate scans through the CLI.

Deletion is the last step

A duplicate finder should earn permission to clean.

UtiliVera separates discovery, selection, planning, and mutation. Similar photos, audio, video, names, and folders remain review-only. Only byte-verified exact groups can enter automatic cleanup.

  • Reference locations cannot be selected for cleanup.
  • The final copy in every group remains protected.
  • Existing hard links do not inflate reclaimable-byte totals.
  • Settings, cache, quarantine, and recovery ledgers are self-excluded.

Questions, answered

What to know before downloading.

The product and installer audits passed. The current public installer is unsigned and its exact checksum is published.

Is UtiliVera Duplicates free?+

Yes. Version 0.9.0 is freeware for personal, educational, nonprofit, and commercial work.

Does it upload file names or contents?+

No. Scanning, hashing, previews, cleanup planning, and restoration run on the Windows PC.

Does the app delete similar photos automatically?+

No. Approximate image, audio, video, file-name, and folder matches are review-only. Automatic selection is limited to exact byte-verified groups.

Can cleanup be undone?+

Recycle Bin and quarantine workflows are recoverable. Hard-link replacement creates a durable ledger that can reconstruct independent verified copies.

What does the installer require?+

Windows 10 or 11 x64 with Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. The installer checks this prerequisite before copying files.

Why does Windows show Unknown publisher?+

The current installer is intentionally released before the trusted certificate is approved. Download only from utilivera.com and verify its published SHA-256 checksum.
