How to use Image Difference Viewer
Compare equal-size image pixels and generate a difference heatmap. A changed pixel exceeds the selected maximum-channel threshold in RGBA. The result reports changed coverage and mean absolute channel error alongside a red intensity heatmap.
- Provide the input and select the documented mode or options.
- Run the tool and review its result and any limits reported below.
- Copy the text result or download a separate output file.
Good to know
- PNG, JPEG or WebP only;10MiB per image,24 megapixels and12,000 pixels per side. The browser applies supported EXIF orientation.
- Raster export does not preserve animation, original color profiles or embedded metadata. Keep your original file.
- Inputs must decode to identical dimensions and no more than8MP. Compression and color-profile differences can change pixels; this is not a forgery or semantic-similarity detector.
- Processing happens in this browser tab. Inputs and results are not automatically saved or uploaded.
