Czkawka is a fast, multiplatform app written in Rust that finds duplicate files, empty folders, similar images, similar videos, similar music, broken files, and other unnecessary data on a computer. It ships with a modern GUI frontend (Krokiet), a legacy GTK4 GUI, a CLI for automation, an Android app, and a reusable core library.
Use cases
- find and remove duplicate files on my computer
- locate empty folders to clean up disk space
- find similar images with different resolutions or watermarks
- detect visually similar videos
- find the biggest files taking up disk space
- remove EXIF metadata from photos
- find broken or corrupted files
- automate duplicate file scanning from the command line
When to choose
- you want a fast, privacy-respecting duplicate finder with no internet access or telemetry
- you need cross-platform support including Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android
- you want both a GUI for manual cleanup and a CLI for scripted automation
- you need advanced tools like similar image/video detection, broken file detection, or EXIF removal in one app
When to avoid
- you need cloud-based or networked file analysis features
- you require deep media editing beyond cleanup and optimization tasks
- you depend on the older GTK4 Czkawka GUI, which is no longer receiving new releases
