PowerPhotos
Merge, split and clean up Photos libraries
The verdict
Photos libraries get messy fast, and PowerPhotos is the Mac toolbox that fixes it. Merge two libraries into one, split a huge library into smaller ones, find duplicates and search libraries side by side. Copies keep albums, edits, keywords and dates. Fat Cat Software lets you download it free, and the full license is $39.95 once.
Get it if
You have 2 or more Photos libraries, or a library so big it fills your Mac's storage.
Skip it if
You keep 1 library in iCloud and only want to delete a few duplicates. Photos has a built-in Duplicates album for that.
