Detailed User Guide

Step 1: Upload Both Images

Click the Before / Image A area to upload your first image, then click After / Image B for the second. Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP. Both images load instantly in your browser.

Step 2: Choose Comparison Mode

Three powerful comparison modes:

  • Slider: Drag the vertical slider to reveal the before/after. Best for compression comparisons and retouching before/after.
  • Side by Side: Both images displayed next to each other. Best for quick visual comparison.
  • Overlay: Image B overlaid on Image A with adjustable opacity. Use the slider to control transparency. Best for spotting subtle differences.

Step 3: Interact & Compare

In Slider mode, drag the blue vertical bar left and right. In Overlay mode, use the opacity slider. In Side by Side mode, scroll to see both images fully.

Step 4: Download

Click Download Comparison to save a combined image (side-by-side layout) as PNG. This is useful for sharing comparison results.

Best Use Cases

  • Compression quality: Compare original vs. compressed image to check quality loss
  • Before/after editing: Show the result of photo retouching or filters
  • Design iterations: Compare two design versions side by side
  • Image upscaling: Compare low-res original vs. upscaled result
  • Background removal: Compare original vs. background-removed result

Pro Tips

  • Use Slider mode for compression comparisons — it makes quality differences immediately visible
  • For subtle differences, use Overlay mode with opacity around 50%
  • Side-by-Side mode is best when both images have very different compositions
  • For sharing, download the comparison and post it directly to social media
  • Use this tool after using our Compressor to visually verify quality before/after
