NVIDIA ICAT

NVIDIA ICAT is a fully featured image comparison and analysis tool that enables PC users to load images and videos captured on the Nvidia GPU graphic cards, including game screenshots and videos that feature various levels of graphical setting and rendered asset detail, and easily compare them and extract valuable information about visual differences. ICAT works with JPEG, PNG, or WEBP image formats and MP4 or WEBM video formats.

Built from the ground up by developers at Nvidia, this streamlined utility enables users of all knowledge levels to move away from expensive and professional editing software for image and video comparisons, and dramatically accelerate their daily workflows by focusing on a purpose-built application that can solve all their needs.

NVIDIA ICAT (Image Comparison & Analysis Tool) is a simple image and video viewer that can load up to 4 image and video files and enable users an easy way to align and view them in split-screen or single-screen modes. This provides an excellent platform for side-by-side or A/B comparisons, with full access to zoom, pan, trim, align, playback speed, and loop controls for examining even the smallest on-screen details.

Split Screen Mode

You can load up to four screenshots or videos for synchronized, side-by-side viewing or playback in Split Screen mode. The ICAT window evenly divides each screenshot or video, and you can zoom and pan into specific areas.

Single Screen Mode

You can load up to two screenshots or videos that are overlaid, and use the slider to cover or reveal each stream for quick A/B comparisons. Additionally, you can zoom and pan into specific areas for more detailed examination.

With full support for both image and video comparisons, this app represents an invaluable accessory to users who wish to compare multiple screenshots and identify differences in rendering quality. Even though this app is seemingly focused on serving the need of gamers, it can also provide valuable assistance to everyone from home users, students, professional designers, rendering artists, and video game developers who can all take valuable insights from the tool that can easily compare any type of similar looking images and videos.

This ICAT app is distributed online as an automated installer weighing just around 55MB in size, enabling all Windows desktop and laptop PC users to easily deploy it and use it without any premium restrictions. The app features a general-purpose set of tools that are not directly connected to the GPU hardware solutions developed by Nvidia corporation, enabling users with competing GPU products to also take full advantage of this advanced image comparison and analysis tool.
