Image Compare & Diff Pro-ready

What does Pro-ready mean?

Compare two images with a slider, overlay, or pixel diff. Exact diff requires matching dimensions.

How to use

  1. Choose image A and image B.
  2. Choose a view such as side by side, slider, overlay or pixel diff.
  3. Inspect differences while checking the view mode and image dimensions.

    About this tool

    Visual comparison uses the original images. Pixel diff runs at full or reduced resolution according to a memory estimate, and the result identifies the mode. The changed ratio counts pixels where any RGBA channel exceeds the threshold; it is not a quality score. Images of different dimensions support visual comparison only.

    Tested for creative and professional checks with high-resolution images. Processing stays in your browser and leaves the original files unchanged.

    Images must be within 80 MP and a 12,000 px long edge, with up to 200 MB per file and 400 MB per pair. Even within these limits, supported sizes and processing time depend on your computer, browser, and available memory.

    Try a use case and check the result

    Inspect edits, export differences and alignment using side-by-side, overlay and pixel-diff views. Samples use original shapes drawn locally in your browser.

    Samples replace the selected images A and B and comparison settings, then run the comparison. Images are generated locally and are not uploaded.

    After trying multiple examples, repeat Restore previous input to return to your original input. History is kept only in this page; restore any input you need before closing it.

    Image comparison restores the selected files and settings. The previous comparison result and full-screen state are not saved; compare again as needed.

    Locate a color edit

    Input and settings

    Two 256×160 px PNGs: B changes the blue square in A to red, keeping its position.

    Expected result

    Both images are 256×160 px. At threshold 0, the diff ratio is greater than 0%, concentrated in the recolored square.

    Inspect a 4 px shift

    Input and settings

    B shifts the same original drawing 4 px to the right within an equally sized PNG.

    Expected result

    The diff ratio is greater than 0%; overlay shows doubled edges. Alignment changes create differences even when the drawing itself is unchanged.

    Inspect JPEG compression differences

    Input and settings

    A is a PNG of the original drawing; B is the same canvas exported as JPEG at quality 0.35.

    Expected result

    Both are 256×160 px. At threshold 0, the diff ratio is greater than 0%. Differences around edges can come from compression; exact values depend on the browser’s JPEG encoder.

    How to read the result

    Diff ratio is changed pixels divided by compared pixels, using the selected threshold. It does not score meaning or edit quality. Check alignment and dimensions, inspect the overlay, then calculate a pixel diff.

    Scope and pitfalls

    There is no automatic alignment. Threshold, compression, color or alpha differences, and reduced-preview processing affect the result. This does not determine image ownership, authorship or authenticity.

    A channel difference equal to the threshold is excluded. In a 2×2 px image where one pixel’s red value changes from 0 to 11, threshold 10 gives 25% and threshold 11 gives 0%. Checked with the existing pixel-diff routine and original PNG/JPEG drawings. Read the result’s capability notice for limits and reduced-resolution processing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will this change the original files?

    No. Results are saved as new files; the originals are unchanged.

    Are my files uploaded?

    Processing takes place in your browser. Closing the page discards your work.

    Can pixel diff compare images with different dimensions?

    Different image dimensions support visual comparison only. Use equally sized images for pixel diff.
