How to do it, step by step
- Choose video 1 (left) and video 2 (right).
- Choose Side by side or Wipe.
- Use play/pause and the position bar.
- With the wipe, drag the control to reveal one video over the other.
When this is useful
Compare the before and after of an edit
See the original and the edited version together.
Check two compressions
Compare the quality and the visual size of the two files.
Tips for a good result
- Only video 1 produces sound, so the audio does not mix.
- The wipe is only available once both videos are chosen.
What this tool does not do
- This page only compares on screen: it does not generate a new file.
- It only accepts videos.
- Everything happens in the browser: performance depends on the device.
Frequently asked questions
- Do the two videos play in sync?
- Yes. The app repositions video 2 when it drifts from video 1 by more than a fraction of a second.
- Can I export the comparison?
- No. To join the two into one file, use the join videos page.
