PerfectPixel popularized the idea of overlaying designs on a webpage. Pixelay builds on that concept with deeper Figma integration, collaboration tools, and analytics. If you need a modern workflow that supports teams, Pixelay is the upgrade.

Integration matters

Pixelay pulls frames directly from your Figma account—no exporting images manually. It also supports prototypes behind logins, local environments, and responsive layouts. PerfectPixel requires uploading assets each time.

Collaboration and evidence

Pixelay lets you comment, annotate, and share comparison links. PerfectPixel is more of a solo tool. When you’re collaborating across design, QA, and engineering, the ability to share context is priceless.

Verdict

PerfectPixel still works for quick solo checks. For team-wide QA, Pixelay’s automated syncing, annotations, and diff modes save far more time. Once you try it, it’s hard to go back.

Migration tip

If you’re moving from PerfectPixel, document your old processes and map them to Pixelay features (overlay, diff, annotation). Most teams realize they can retire several manual steps after a single sprint.
