Find duplicate images

my users are uploading their images to my app. i have a table in which each row corresponds to the user submission and have a column with images. i want to identify if a user submits a duplicate image. how can i identify duplicates within the column? I am using google sheets.

i have figured that i need to create md5 hash for each image but do not know how to implement that in Glide

You could do it with JavaScript, but the problem is that you would be hashing the Image URL, not the Image itself. So it wouldn’t work.

However, you could use JavaScript to fetch the image, then hash or base64 encode that. I don’t know if that would work, but I guess it might.
