Pixelmatch is a lightweight JavaScript pixel-level image comparison library used for visual regression testing. It allows developers to compare two images and detect differences at a pixel level, making it ideal for testing UI components and ensuring visual consistency across different versions of an application.
Compared to alternative solutions like Resemble.js or Blink-diff, Pixelmatch is known for its speed and accuracy in detecting even the smallest differences between images. It provides a simple API for integrating image diffing into automated testing workflows.
Alternatives: resemble.js, blink-diff, pixelmatch-plus
