BitWhittle Photo Curator™

Windows-native photo cleanup—you stay in the driver’s seat

Smart duplicate & similar detection

Catch byte-identical copies and photos that only look alike—then dial how strict the match should be.

  • Exact duplicates

    Identify identical files so redundant copies are easy to clear without second-guessing.

  • Similar photos, not just pixel clones

    A separate Similar tier uses perceptual hashing to surface near-matches—re-exports, slight crops, and resizes—without treating every shared color as a hit.

  • Matching you can tune

    Choose Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive presets, or set a custom slider when you want finer control over how loosely photos group.

  • Diameter-cap safeguard

    Groups stay bounded so photo A similar to B, and B similar to C, cannot quietly pull A and C into the same pile when they are unrelated. That limit is intentional engineering—not an afterthought.

Tune similarity without losing the plot.

Built for how you actually shoot

Phone cameras produce bursts, screenshots, and the occasional disaster frame. Photo Curator™ understands those patterns—not just generic file duplicates.

  • Burst-shot grouping

    Rapid sequences are clustered using EXIF timestamps plus similarity, so you review a burst as a set instead of a scattered pile of near-identical frames.

  • Screenshot detection

    Aspect ratio and EXIF heuristics help flag screenshots so they can be handled on their own terms.

  • Unusable photo category

    Blurry shots, lens-cap frames, and pocket presses surface in their own review category—kept apart from photos that deserve a real keep-or-toss decision.

  • Full HEIC / HEIF support

    Works with iPhone’s default format, so libraries that never left HEIC behind are first-class—not an afterthought conversion chore.

Bursts, screenshots, and unusable frames—each handled distinctly.

Nothing gets deleted without you

Photo Curator™ does not auto-delete on its own judgment. Every removal is something you have seen and approved.

  • Dry-run / Preview mode

    See the full cleanup plan first—what would move and why—before any file is touched.

  • Protected-photos registry

    Mark a photo once and it stays off the chopping block. Protected items are not flagged again in later scans.

  • Recycle Bin only

    Approved deletions go to the Recycle Bin (or Mac Trash)—never a silent hard delete from disk.

  • Full undo and cleanup history

    Walk back a cleanup using history, so a change of heart does not mean a permanent loss.

Preview the plan. Protect what matters. Approve what goes.

Your photos. Your call. Every time.

Years of birthdays, trips, and ordinary days you would never get back should not hinge on a silent automated purge. Photo Curator™ is built so you can thin the clutter without the fear that something irreplaceable disappears because the software guessed wrong. You make the final call—always.

A photo specialist that feels at home on Windows

Depth where photo libraries actually get messy—not a thin pass across every file type on the drive.

  • Windows-native by design

    Serious photo cleanup on Windows is still underserved. Photo Curator™ is built for that audience first, with Mac builds available too.

  • Photo logic, not generic junk sweeping

    Burst detection, screenshot heuristics, unusable-frame review, HEIC support, and tunable similarity are photo-specific tools—not a one-size-fits-all duplicate finder stretched across documents and downloads.
