Both photos are decoded straight into the browser and drawn side by side on an HTML canvas, not uploaded to a server or any third-party host. Because the layout, spacing, and background are all computed locally, you can change settings and re-export instantly.

How to use it

  1. Drop, click, or paste your first image into the left box, then your second into the right one (pasting fills them in order automatically).
  2. Choose "Fit" to keep each image's own aspect ratio, or "Crop" to force both into matching squares.
  3. Adjust spacing and padding, and optionally turn on a gradient background with your own colors and direction.
  4. Preview the combined canvas and download it as a PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Are my two images uploaded anywhere to build the comparison?

No - both images are loaded and drawn onto an HTML canvas locally. Nothing is sent to a server.

How do I get both images in?

Drag-and-drop or click each of the two upload boxes, or paste with Ctrl+V - pasting fills the first image, then the second.

What's the difference between "Fit" and "Crop" mode?

Fit scales both images to the same height while keeping their original aspect ratios. Crop crops both to a square so they line up exactly.

Can I customize the background?

Yes - use a solid white background, or turn on a two-color gradient with a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction, plus adjustable spacing and padding.

What format is the exported image?

The combined comparison downloads as a PNG.

Why does the output look smaller than my original photos?

Each image is capped at 600 pixels on its matched dimension so the combined comparison stays a reasonable size for sharing. Your original files aren't touched, only what's drawn on the exported canvas.
