 FAQ

How accurate is the image comparison tool?

The tool provides pixel-level accuracy with differences displayed in your chosen highlight color. The mismatch percentage gives you a precise measurement of how different the images are, even detecting subtle variations invisible to the naked eye.
Can I compare images of different sizes?

Yes. The tool offers scaling options that allow you to compare images with different dimensions. You can use original sizing or have the tool automatically scale images for the most accurate comparison.
What does the mismatch percentage actually mean?

The mismatch percentage represents the proportion of pixels that differ between the two images. A 0% mismatch means the images are identical, while 100% would mean completely different images. Even minor differences can register as a small percentage.
Can I use this tool for detecting image manipulation or forgery?

While the tool can highlight differences between an original and modified image, it's not specifically designed as a forensic tool. However, it can serve as a first-line check to identify areas where an image may have been altered.
Does this tool work for comparing screenshots from different devices?

Yes. The tool is particularly useful for UI/UX designers and developers who need to verify consistent display across different devices. Use the scaling options for best results when comparing screenshots from devices with different resolutions.
