  1. Online Image Difference Utility Line

A tool for easy online image comparison and image diffing. Online Image Diff - Website for easy online image comparison Toggle navigation Online-Image-Comparison.com. Automatic searching of differences between two similar pictures online. Select two pictures on your computer or phone and then click OK. Other settings already installed by default. On this website you can also get the similarity of two images in percentage. Different areas of two similar images by default will be highlighted by red color.

I have two images that are slightly different. (The second is actually generated by some manipulation in MatLab).

I need some way to compare these two images.Some utility that can highlight where the differences are.

[I know this can be done in Matlab, but I don't want to do it that way. Some easier method... some app maybe?]

Beyond Compare is really a file-and-folder comparison tool, but it also contains image comparisons (example link).

There's a free trial. I bought this tool ($30) because it's so incredibly useful for many things.

I use AKS

It allows you to compare two JPG files and show differences between them. For instance, this tool allows you to compare two versions of the same image, chart, diagram or scheme.

There's the Araxis tools. From the screen shots on the page it appears that it highlights differences too.

Okay this is going to sound ridiculous, but if they are the same size you can put them side by side and cross your eyes like you would for a magic eye 3D picture, and the differences will stand out as if they are flickering (as your brain quickly alternates between the two different overlapped picture elements)

I use this 'cheat' when I play those spot-the-difference flash games :P

I've just found this user-friendly app, DiffImg http://sourceforge.net/projects/diffimg/

There are quite a few image screenshot/image comparison tools based on Resemble.JS, which is actually an image-comparison tool in itself (it seems like you can use it to compare any images).

So, theoretically, you can use Resemble.JS ore one of the tools mentioned in the linked post.

This simple online image comparison tool provided me with a straightforward way to determine how much of my image changed when I used the macOS Preview app to add a text watermark to some example photos.

I wanted to verify if the process recompressed the file. The only new compression artifacts highlighted by the tool appeared directly around the added text.

This tool doesn't have the diff filtering options that Resemble.js appears to have so I may be missing out on more granular differences that might be occurring.
