Pixelay vs Happo
Happo alternative. Verify the intended design before tracking visual regressions.
Pixelay is a Happo alternative for manual design-to-implementation review. Pair the webpage with Figma and inspect differences, while retaining automated visual checks for the ongoing development pipeline.
Free to install. Includes 10 Pro trials, no credit card required.

See every visual difference in one website QA view.
Switch between overlay, split-screen, difference detection, and four other views as you compare a website with its Figma design.
- Seven comparison modes
- Full-page website review
- Difference highlighting
Compare the live website directly against its Figma design.
Overlay a Figma design on the corresponding website to spot spacing, alignment, typography, sizing, and implementation differences before launch.
- Design-to-website overlay
- Pixel-level visual QA
- Fast implementation review
Check live, staging, local, and private websites against Figma.
Compare a Figma design with a live, staging, local, or private website. The site does not need to be publicly accessible for visual QA.
- Live and staging URLs
- Private environment support
- Pre-launch visual QA

Pixelay ProWhat to check before switching.
Pixelay does not replace automated regression or accessibility testing. A visual match to Figma is one acceptance check; keep code-based checks and any accessibility review required by the project.
Read the workflow guide- Start with a page whose regression baseline needs review against Figma. Load the design and website together.
- Switch between comparison modes.
- Inspect each page and breakpoint. Pixelay does not replace automated regression or accessibility testing.
Common questions
What to know before you start.
When should I choose Pixelay instead of Happo?
Designers deciding whether the current implementation matches the approved Figma design.
When is Happo a better fit?
Engineering teams needing Happo’s automated visual testing and accessibility-oriented workflow.
What should I check before switching?
Pixelay does not replace automated regression or accessibility testing. A visual match to Figma is one acceptance check; keep code-based checks and any accessibility review required by the project.
Does visual fidelity establish accessibility?
No. Design comparison can reveal visible mismatches, but accessibility also involves semantics, keyboard interaction and other behavior. Retain appropriate accessibility checks alongside the visual review.
Can I try Pixelay before upgrading?
Yes. Install Pixelay from the Figma Community to use 10 free Pro trials. No credit card required.
