A visual comparison is useful only when the two screenshots represent the same page state. A changed viewport can move every line. A late-loading font can make an unchanged heading look different. A consent banner can cover the feature you meant to review. The guides below treat capture conditions as part of the evidence, not as an afterthought.

What these guides can and cannot establish
Screenshots can show visible differences in one rendered state. They can support a QA check, a handoff note, or a client conversation. They do not prove that the underlying code is correct, that every responsive size is safe, or that a page is accessible. Pair visual review with functional, responsive, and accessibility checks whenever the change affects user tasks.
