What are the different versions of Duplicate Media Finder?
Last modified: September 3, 2025
You may have noticed that Duplicate Media Finder (DMF) comes in several different versions: DMF-Demo, DMF-Free, and DMF-Pro. We will see in this article what each version is used for and detail the features that are available or not.
DMF-Demo: As its name suggests, this is the demonstration version of Duplicate Media Finder. It allows you to fully test the software (features, performance, etc.) before making a purchase. The prospective user can thus buy DMF-Pro with complete confidence. Some limitations prevent it from being used to delete duplicates.
DMF-Free: Unlike the previous version, this version is fully functional and free. It can be used to delete duplicates (identical files only) and provides access to many advanced features. However, some of these features are only available in the Pro version.
DMF-Pro: This is the complete and fully functional version of Duplicate Media Finder. It requires the purchase of a license, which provides access to all features without any time limitation. It can be downloaded after purchase from the Duplicate Media Finder website.
The functional matrix below shows the availability of each feature according to the DMF version.
