Before & after screenshot comparison

Compare screenshots and see exactly what changed.

Compare website screenshots with a reveal slider, side-by-side view and visual difference detection. Built for QA testing, design review, visual regression checks and client approval, with screenshot processing designed to stay local.

Three ways to compare

Choose the view that makes the change easiest to see.

Capture keeps comparison simple for human review instead of forcing every job into a complex automated test pipeline.

Reveal Slider

Drag across aligned Before and After screenshots to reveal the newer version over the older one. Useful for layout, spacing, typography and content changes.

Side by Side

Place the two versions next to each other for quick design review, stakeholder approval and clear documentation of what changed.

Δ

Differences

Compare pixels locally, filter minor rendering noise, cluster meaningful changed regions and number the areas that deserve attention.

Visual difference detection

Find changes your eyes can miss.

Small shifts in spacing, button position, cards, text blocks or responsive layout can be difficult to notice when you switch between tabs. Differences mode highlights changed regions on the full-resolution After screenshot and gives you a clear change count and approximate percentage.

Where comparison helps

Useful for QA, design, deployment review and client sign-off.

Visual regression review

Compare an earlier known-good capture against a new build after code, CSS or dependency changes.

Design implementation

Check whether an updated page visually matches the intended direction after design revisions.

Responsive fixes

Capture the same breakpoint before and after a mobile, tablet or desktop layout correction.

Staging vs production

Create captures from two environments and inspect visible changes before release.

Client approval

Show stakeholders exactly what changed without asking them to mentally compare two separate screenshots.

Bug fix verification

Keep the original visual defect and the corrected version together as evidence that the issue was addressed.

Compare screenshots without sending them away.

Normal Before/After comparison and visual difference processing are designed to happen locally on your computer. Screenshot image content does not need to be uploaded to RATdeck for comparison.

Screenshot comparison and visual regression

Why compare screenshots instead of flipping between tabs?

A before-and-after screenshot comparison aligns two visual states so spacing, typography, layout and content changes are easier to spot. A reveal slider is useful when the two screenshots are closely aligned, while side-by-side comparison helps when reviewers need to understand the full context of both versions.

For QA and visual regression review, a difference view can surface areas that changed unexpectedly. Capture adds sensitivity control and meaningful-region grouping so reviewers can reduce minor rendering noise and focus on changes that deserve attention. Capture is designed for manual visual review and reporting; it is not presented as an automated CI/CD visual-regression platform.

Screenshot comparison FAQ

Common questions about before, after and visual differences.

How do I compare two website screenshots?+

Capture an earlier version and a newer version, then open the comparison workspace and choose Reveal, Side by Side or Differences.

What is a before and after screenshot slider?+

A reveal slider places two aligned screenshots in the same space and lets you drag a divider across them so you can see the earlier and newer version at the same location.

Can Capture automatically highlight screenshot differences?+

Yes. Differences mode compares pixels locally, ignores minor rendering noise, clusters meaningful changes into regions and highlights them on the After screenshot.

Does Capture show how much changed?+

Yes. Differences mode includes a changed-region count and an approximate percentage changed.

Can I change the difference sensitivity?+

Yes. The sensitivity control lets you tune how aggressively small rendering differences are treated as meaningful changes.

Is this useful for visual regression testing?+

Yes for manual visual regression review, QA verification and design comparison. Capture does not currently claim to be an automated CI/CD visual-regression testing service.

Are before and after screenshots uploaded?+

Normal comparison and difference processing are designed to stay on your computer. Account and subscription communication is separate from screenshot image processing.
