Duplicate finder/remover for photos/videos

Anyone use such an app/programme for a Mac? I've 1000s of photos, and Ive tried a couple and even though I've paid for them they aren't the best.
Any suggestions free or otherwise would be a help. :)
Cheers

    Dont quote me on it but if you use Adobe Lightroom, I'm pretty sure it doesnt import duplicate assets (ie images!)

    If you imported all your images into Lightroom then exported the non-duplicates to another drive, that would solve your problem.

    Must be info on google about it.

    By pure coincidence, just went onto Facebook and the first advert that came up is https://toptechshifts.com/photostick/A2D1R2/?thrive=1

    That might do the job for you too!

    Ive got one @J@JohnBoyUK, while it has found photos I'd thought I'd lost (Goods news @Fumbluff?) it does copy over duplicates. but thanks Ive used the free offer on Lightroom which shifted most of them.

    CUT and paste everything to one folder, when it tries to paste something with the same name you can either duplicate or skip.
    This only works if the duplicated files have the same name.
