## Overview (en)

Visual image comparison finds the pixels that differ between two images of the same width and height. Each pixel whose largest channel difference exceeds a threshold, 20 by default, is marked bright red on a black background. The result reports the number and percentage of changed pixels and saves the difference map as difference.png.

## Supported tasks (en)

2. Set pixel difference threshold.
3. Run visual image comparison, review the output, then use the available copy or download controls.

## Questions (en)

### How do I compare two screenshots for differences?

Select exactly two images with identical dimensions and run the tool. Changed pixels appear bright red on a black image, and the stats show how many pixels changed and what percentage of the image that is.

### How does the pixel difference threshold work?

For each pixel the tool takes the largest difference across red, green, blue and alpha. Only differences above the threshold count as changes, so raising it ignores small shifts such as compression noise. Set it to 0 to flag any change.

### Can I compare images with different sizes?

No. Both images must have the same width and height, otherwise the tool stops with an error. Resize or crop one of them to match before comparing.
