It detects duplicates based on the same resolution and same file format making it easy to remove unnecessary copies. This helps reduce storage usage and keeps your website clean, organized and optimized for better performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tp-heading-1\">Accessing Duplicate Images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To open the duplicate image scanner, navigate to:<br><strong>WordPress Dashboard \u2192 ThumbPress \u2192 Duplicate Images<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/thumbpress.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Dashboard-\u2039-thumb-doc-new-\u2014-WordPress-04-27-2026_02_28_PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thumbpress.co\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Dashboard-\u2039-thumb-doc-new-\u2014-WordPress-04-27-2026_02_28_PM.png 237w, https:\/\/thumbpress.co\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Dashboard-\u2039-thumb-doc-new-\u2014-WordPress-04-27-2026_02_28_PM-203x300.png 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you first open this section you will see a scan panel with options to start detecting duplicate images.
