• Identical images saved as different formats (using different
extensions, such as JPEG, BMP, or GIF) are not be recognized as
duplicates.
• If you have a JPEG and save a copy of it, the image is
recompressed. Therefore the original JPEG and the copy are
different files internally and are not recognized as duplicates.
