Image Comparison

Compare two images — slider, side-by-side, diff, onion skin, and pixel statistics.

Image A

Drop image A

JPEG, PNG, WebP

Image B

Drop image B

All comparison happens in your browser. Both images are loaded into local canvases — nothing is uploaded.

About Image Comparison

OptiPix Image Comparison lets you compare two images with five different modes: a draggable slider, side-by-side, opacity overlay, pixel-difference highlighting, and onion skin. The Diff view highlights changed pixels in bright magenta with an adjustable threshold so you can spot tiny visual changes between two screenshots, design mockups, or compressed/original image pairs. A statistics panel shows the exact number of changed pixels, the percentage difference, average difference, and maximum difference per channel. Manual X/Y offset sliders let you align scanned documents that are slightly off. Download the diff visualization or a side-by-side composite as PNG. Perfect for visual regression testing, comparing photo edits before/after, comparing design iterations, and verifying that an image was compressed without visible loss.

How It Works

Both images are decoded onto canvases. For diff mode, both pixel buffers are compared per channel; differences exceeding the threshold are highlighted in magenta on a desaturated base. Statistics are computed during the same pass. The slider mode uses a clipped overlay; the onion-skin mode uses semi-transparent compositing.

Use Cases

  • Visual regression testing for web pages and design systems
  • Spot pixel differences between two screenshots after a refactor
  • Compare the original photo to a compressed or watermarked version
  • Compare two design mockups for client review
  • Verify a metadata-stripped image is visually identical to the original

Frequently Asked Questions

How does pixel-level diff work?
OptiPix walks both images pixel-by-pixel and flags any pixel where the per-channel difference exceeds your threshold. Changed pixels are highlighted in magenta on a dimmed grayscale base, and statistics are computed: total differing pixels, average diff, max diff, and percent identical.
What if the two images aren't the same size?
OptiPix automatically scales the second image to match the first for diff/overlay/onion skin modes. For side-by-side comparison, both images are shown at their natural sizes side by side.
How do I compare a compressed image vs the original?
Drop the original as Image A and the compressed version as Image B, then switch to Diff mode. The threshold slider lets you ignore tiny differences and focus on visible loss.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Both images are loaded into local canvases via getImageData and never leave your browser.
Can I download the diff visualization?
Yes — the Diff view can be exported as a PNG, ready to attach to a bug report or visual regression report.
