Media Cleanup Pro - Perceptual-Hash Near-Duplicate Image Detection + Page-Builder Deep Scan

Description

Perceptual-hash near-duplicate detection + deep page-builder rewriter - the media dedupe features free plugins never do.

Free plugins find byte-identical duplicates. Real WordPress sites have far messier problems: your product photos were resized when the theme changed, your team re-uploaded slightly-compressed versions of the same hero image, Elementor duplicated your landing page and copied its media references into a JSON blob no dedupe plugin knows how to walk. A byte-comparison misses every one of these.

Why Media Cleanup Pro beats the alternatives: Media Cleanup Pro is the only WordPress duplicate image plugin combining perceptual-hash (pHash) similarity detection - which catches JPEG re-encodes, resized copies, and watermarked variants that look identical but differ byte-for-byte - with page-builder-aware reference rewriting that walks Elementor, Divi, Bricks, WPBakery and SiteOrigin JSON blobs. WooCommerce galleries and CDN URL variants are first-class.

Works with every major page builder and the block editor

Dedicated reference rewriters for Elementor page-builder data, Divi shortcode metadata, Bricks Builder data, WPBakery serialized meta, SiteOrigin Page Builder widgets, and ACF flexible content fields. Gutenberg block references handled natively.

What Pro adds on top of the free plugin

• Everything free does - SHA-1 detection, reference rewriting, quarantine, undo, Media Library integration.
• Perceptual-hash (pHash) near-duplicate detection - catches JPEG re-encodes, resizes, minor edits, watermarked variants. Grouped separately from exact matches so you can review before merging.
• Page-builder deep scan - Elementor, Divi, Bricks, WPBakery, SiteOrigin, ACF flexible content JSON walked and rewritten.
• WooCommerce gallery awareness - product image galleries and variation images treated as first-class references. Never breaks a product page.
• CDN URL variants - configure your CDN base URL(s) once. cdn.your-site.com references rewritten alongside the site-URL form.
• Scheduled scans + Slack/email alerts - ping the moment new duplicate groups appear.
• Multisite network view - aggregate dupe counts + wasted storage across every subsite. Drill into any of them.
• Extended 30-day multi-backup history - every merge snapshot retained. Restore any of them.
• Priority email support - direct line to the developer. Under-24-hour response.
