About:
Imgdiff is a command-line utility that performs pixel-by-pixel comparisons between two images. It highlights differences visually and provides a summary of changed pixels, making it ideal for detecting subtle visual regressions. The tool is optimized for speed, handling large images efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Fast pixel-by-pixel comparison
  • Visual diff output highlighting changes
  • Command-line interface for automation
  • Supports standard image formats (PNG, JPEG)
Use Cases:
  • Detecting visual regressions in UI or game assets
  • Verifying image processing pipeline outputs
  • Automated testing of graphical applications
Alternatives:
  • ImageMagick compare – More comprehensive suite but heavier dependency and more complex syntax.
  • Pixelmatch – Node.js library focused on pixel diffing for web applications.
