Where to Download dupeGuru for Windows, macOS, or Linux

Updated

dupeGuru offers official downloads for Windows (x64 and x32), Ubuntu (x32 and x64), and macOS 10.12+, plus source archives in zip and tar.gz formats. All of these are listed on the project's site under "Latest Downloads" and "Additional Downloads." Pick the package that matches your operating system and architecture, then install it like any normal desktop application.

Available Downloads by Platform

Platform Package(s) listed Notes
Windows x64, x32 Two separate installers based on your system architecture
Ubuntu x32, x64 Linux builds distributed for Ubuntu
macOS 10.12+ Requires macOS 10.12 or later
Source zip, tar.gz For building or reviewing the code yourself

The site groups these into "Latest Downloads" (the platform installers) and "Additional Downloads" (the source archives).

How to Choose the Right Package

  • Windows: If you're on a 64-bit PC, take the x64 build; use x32 only for 32-bit systems or when a specific compatibility need requires it.
  • Ubuntu/Linux: Match the build to your OS architecture (x32 or x64). These are the Linux packages the project publishes.
  • macOS: Confirm your version is 10.12 or newer before downloading, since that's the stated minimum.
  • Source (zip / tar.gz): Choose this only if you want to compile dupeGuru yourself or inspect the code. It is not a ready-to-run installer.

What You're Installing

dupeGuru is a cross-platform GUI tool for finding duplicate files. It can scan either filenames or file contents, and its filename scan uses a fuzzy matching algorithm that surfaces similar—not just identical—names. It also includes a Music mode for scanning tags and a Picture mode for fuzzy image comparison. The interface is built with different GUI toolkits per platform (Cocoa/Objective-C on macOS, Qt5 with Python on Linux and Windows) over a shared Python 3 core.

After Downloading

Once installed, point dupeGuru at the folders you want to scan and choose whether to match on filenames or contents. Its reference directory and grouping systems are designed to reduce the risk of deleting files you didn't intend to remove, and results can be filtered and sorted to weed out false matches—useful when running low-threshold scans. Beyond deleting duplicates, you can also move or copy them elsewhere.

If a download doesn't match your system, recheck your OS architecture (32-bit vs 64-bit) and, on macOS, your version number against the 10.12+ requirement.
