Over time it's easy to bookmark the same page more than once. Raindrop.io can detect duplicate bookmarks and show them in a single list, so you can clean up your library in seconds.

<Note>
  Duplicate detection is a [premium feature](/premium-features).

## How detection works

A bookmark counts as a duplicate only when its URL matches another saved bookmark exactly.

Before comparing, Raindrop.io strips away differences that don't affect the actual page: protocol (`http` vs `https`), `www` prefix, trailing slashes, tracking query parameters (like referral or ad source IDs), and hash fragments.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I find duplicates across all collections at once?">
    Yes. Open **All bookmarks** and apply the Duplicates filter — it scans your entire library.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will removing duplicates delete the original bookmark too?">
    No. The duplicate list only contains extra copies. Originals stay in place.
