Getting Started
pip install fastdup from PyPI:
pip install fastdup
More installation options are available here.
Initialize and run fastdup:
import fastdup
fd = fastdup.create(input_dir="IMAGE_FOLDER/")
fd.run()
Explore the results in a interactive web UI:
fd.explore()
Alternatively, visualize the result in a static gallery:
fd.vis.duplicates_gallery() # gallery of duplicates
fd.vis.outliers_gallery() # gallery of outliers
fd.vis.component_gallery() # gallery of connected components
fd.vis.stats_gallery() # gallery of image statistics (e.g. blur, brightness, etc.)
fd.vis.similarity_gallery() # gallery of similar images
Features & Advantages
fastdup handles labeled/unlabeled datasets in image or video format, providing a range of features:
What sets fastdup apart from other similar tools:
- Quality: High-quality analysis to identify duplicates/near-duplicates, outliers, mislabels, broken images, and low-quality images.
- Scale: Highly scalable, capable of processing 400M images on a single CPU machine. Scales up to billions of images.
- Speed: Optimized C++ engine enables high performance even on low-resource CPU machines.
- Privacy: Runs locally or on your cloud infrastructure. Your data stays where it is.
- Ease of use: Works on labeled or unlabeled datasets in image or video format with support for major operating systems like MacOS, Linux and Windows.

Usage Tracking
We have added an experimental crash report collection using Sentry.
We DO NOT collect user-specific information such as folder names, user names, image names, image content, etc.
We do collect data related to fastdup’s internal operations and performance statistics such as total number of images, average runtime per image, total free memory, total free disk space, number of cores, etc.
This help us identify and resolve stability issues, thereby improving the overall reliability of fastdup.
The code for the data collection is found here. On MAC we use Google crashpad to report crashes.
Users have the option to opt out of the experimental crash reporting system through one of the following methods:
- Define an environment variable called
SENTRY_OPT_OUT - or
run()withturi_param='run_sentry=0'
