What does it mean to compare images?

Comparing images means viewing two image versions side by side to spot changes in layout, color, or content—for example, a draft vs. a revised version or a before-and-after edit. In Kreatli, you can upload multiple images to a project and review them together with comments and annotations, so your team can see exactly what changed and give precise feedback in one place.

Do I need a Kreatli account to use this page?

Yes. To use this tool, sign in to Kreatli. If you are signed in to Kreatli and your trial or subscription is not active, you will need to start a 7-day trial or choose a plan to use the tool here—you add a payment method during secure checkout and are not charged subscription fees during the trial. People who open a review link you share still do not need a Kreatli account.

How do I compare two images in Kreatli?

Upload both images to a Kreatli project and open them in the review interface. You can switch between them or view them in the same project so reviewers can reference both versions. Add comments and annotations on either image, pinning feedback to the exact location. All feedback stays in one thread so nothing gets lost between versions.

Can I compare images with different dimensions or formats?

Yes. Kreatli supports reviewing images in common formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, etc.). When comparing versions with different dimensions or formats, you can annotate each file. Comments are tied to the specific image and position, so it's clear which version and which spot each piece of feedback refers to. Use the project to keep both versions visible to the team.

Why compare images in Kreatli instead of a standalone diff tool?

Comparing images in Kreatli keeps review in one place with your video, PDFs, and other deliverables. You get a single project, one set of review links for clients, and one approval workflow. Reviewers can add comments and markup on either version, and all feedback is tracked in one thread—no juggling between a diff tool and a separate review app.

Can clients compare image versions without creating an account?

Yes. Send your client a secure Kreatli review link that includes both images. They can open the project, switch between versions, add comments and markup on either file, and submit feedback without signing up. All comparisons and feedback stay in one place for your team.

How does comparing images help creative workflows?

Comparing images helps you catch changes between design revisions, photo edits, or asset versions. When feedback is pinned to the exact spot, designers and stakeholders know precisely what changed and what to fix. Keeping both versions in one Kreatli project with resolution tracking speeds up approvals and reduces revision cycles for graphics, photos, and layouts.

What is an Image Comparer?

An image comparer shows two still versions side by side so reviewers can spot layout, color, or retouching changes instantly. It is ideal for design revisions, photo rounds, and static creative approvals when you need feedback tied to exact regions of the image.
