Frequently Asked Questions About Image Comparison

What image formats are supported for comparison?

You can compare images in all common formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. Both images can be in different formats - for example, you can compare a JPG original with a WebP compressed version.

Do my images need to be the same size?

No, you can compare images of different sizes. The tool will display both images and note any dimension differences in the stats bar. However, for the most accurate pixel-level comparison using the Difference mode, images with matching dimensions work best.

What does the Difference mode show?

The Difference mode performs a pixel-by-pixel comparison of the two images and highlights any areas where the pixels differ in red. Unchanged areas appear as semi-transparent. This is especially useful for detecting subtle edits or compression artifacts.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your images never leave your device. When you close or refresh the page, all image data is removed from memory.

Can I compare more than two images at once?

This tool is designed for comparing exactly two images at a time. If you need to compare multiple images, you can load different pairs sequentially. Use the Swap button to quickly reverse the before/after order.
