Visual change detection

Catch the changes that matter — ignore the noise

Pixel-accurate comparison with controls to focus on the part of the page you actually care about.

Full-page screenshots

Pixel-perfect captures of any public URL — full page or viewport — on the schedule you choose.

Pixel-by-pixel diff

Each new capture is compared against the last and the exact changed pixels are highlighted for instant review.

Change sensitivity

Set a change threshold so tiny rendering noise is ignored and only meaningful visual changes trigger an alert.

Watch a single element

Target one element with a CSS selector — monitor just the price, the headline or the banner, not the whole page.

Clip to a region

Draw a bounding box to monitor a fixed region of the page and ignore everything outside it.

Cookie banners handled

Consent and pop-up banners are dismissed automatically before capture, so they never pollute your comparisons.

Before / after

See exactly what changed, side by side

Every check stores a full screenshot. When something changes you get a before/after with the differing pixels highlighted — no squinting, no guessing.

Monitor the part that matters

Dynamic pages change constantly. Watch a single element or a clipped region and set a sensitivity threshold so you only hear about changes you actually care about.

Visual monitoring FAQ

What is visual monitoring / visual change detection?

It is automated website change monitoring based on screenshots: ViewCel captures a page on a schedule, compares each new capture to the previous one pixel-by-pixel, and alerts you when the visual appearance changes.

How do I avoid alerts for tiny, unimportant changes?

Set a change-sensitivity threshold so minor rendering noise is ignored, and/or monitor only a specific element (by CSS selector) or a clipped region instead of the whole page.

Do I need to install anything on the site?

No. ViewCel works on any public URL with no code, plugin or DNS change — including pages you do not control, such as competitors.

How often are pages captured?

Depending on your plan, as often as every 2 minutes. You can also trigger captures on demand.

Can I be notified outside of email?

Yes. Alongside email alerts, ViewCel can fire a webhook on every detected change, so you can route changes into Slack, Zapier, or your own backend.
