What Each Scan Does for You

Integrity Scan

Opens and verifies image files so broken or unreadable files are flagged before they surprise you later.

Sidecar Validation

Checks RAW/XMP pairing so edits and metadata sidecars are not silently separated from originals.

Duplicate Detection

Uses SHA256 exact matching to reveal true duplicate files and reduce storage waste safely.

Similarity Detection

Uses perceptual hashing to find visually similar images so near-duplicates can be reviewed quickly.

Metadata Validation

Finds missing or invalid metadata fields that cause sorting, searching, and archive consistency issues later.

Timestamp + Preview Checks

Compares capture time to file/folder chronology and verifies preview decode to catch hidden archive inconsistencies.

RAW Format Note

FrameCheck focuses on safe and reliable validation. Some RAW formats are not fully decoded in this version because camera-specific RAW decoding requires additional libraries. Future versions may expand RAW preview and integrity validation support.
