3 issues in the dev file. Click a pin on the dev file to jump to its fix, or a number here to find it on the dev file.

  1. 1
    Issue 1:Name heading

    Heading sits 12px low

    Design places the name 16px under the header row. The dev file uses 28px.

    mt-7 → mt-4
  2. 2
    Issue 2:Invite button

    Corners are too round

    Design radius is 8px. The dev file uses 12px.

    rounded-xl → rounded-lg
  3. 3
    Issue 3:Role text

    Role text fails contrast

    Design uses the muted text color. The dev file drops it to 50% opacity, under the 4.5:1 WCAG ratio.

    text-paper-muted/50 → text-paper-muted

Review measured drift and implementation guidance for your stack.

Real-world examples

Maya signs off on a landing page in minutes, not a meeting.

Maya is the product designer at Ember Roasters. Her developer shipped the new homepage to staging and asked, “Does it match?” It looks close. Instead of squinting between two tabs, she drops the approved Figma export and a staging screenshot into one QA Troll flow.

visual difference found

Nothing she'd have caught with confidence by eye, and all of it measured. She sends the checklist, the developer fixes it, and the rerun shows 0% difference.

3.2% drift

4 issues in the dev file. Click a pin on the dev file to jump to its fix, or a number here to find it on the dev file.

  1. 1
    Issue 1:Hero headline

    Headline sits 14px low

    Design sets hero padding-top at 50px. The dev file uses 64px.

    pt-16 → pt-[50px]
  2. 2
    Issue 2:Subheading

    Subheading is too light

    Design specifies #4A3F38. The dev file renders #7A726B, which weakens contrast.

    text-stone-500 → text-stone-700
  3. 3
    Issue 3:Primary button

    Button lost its pill shape

    Design uses a full pill. The dev file has a 6px corner radius.

    rounded-md → rounded-full
  4. 4
    Issue 4:Product grid

    Card gap is uneven

    Design uses a consistent 32px gap. The dev file measures 40px and 42px.

    gap-10 → gap-8

The result: a 20-page review goes from a work week to a coffee break.

Checking a page by hand, side by side with the design, takes about an hour. QA Troll checks all 20 pages in about 10 minutes.

Another real QA pass

One product card, seven things the dev file got wrong.

The developer restyled the Ember Roasters product card. It still looks like a nice card, which is exactly why these slip through. QA Troll compares it to the approved design and labels every difference on the dev file.

7 issues in the dev file. Click a pin on the dev file to jump to its fix, or a number here to find it on the dev file.

  1. 1
    Issue 1:Badge

    Off-brand badge color

    Design uses the brand green for "New harvest". The dev file renders it coral, which fights the green bag.

    bg-accent → bg-primary text-primary-foreground
  2. 2
    Issue 2:Origin label

    Metadata is louder than the name

    Design sets the origin at 12px, muted, normal tracking. The dev file uses 14px, widest tracking, and a coral tint.

    text-sm tracking-widest → text-xs tracking-wide text-paper-muted
  3. 3
    Issue 3:Tasting notes

    Wrong size and ad-hoc color

    Design is 14px muted with relaxed leading. The dev file is 16px at 70% opacity with 28px leading, so it wraps to three lines.

    text-base leading-7 → text-sm leading-relaxed text-paper-muted
  4. 4
    Issue 4:Roast meter

    Filled segments fail contrast

    Design fills segments in brand green. The dev file uses pale coral, well under the 3:1 WCAG ratio for graphics.

    bg-accent/50 → bg-primary
  5. 5
    Issue 5:Size selector

    A third active-state color

    Design highlights the selected size in green. The dev file uses near-black, so the card now has three "selected" colors.

    bg-paper-foreground → bg-primary text-primary-foreground
  6. 6
    Issue 6:Price

    Price outweighs the call to action

    Design sets the price at 24px in the text color. The dev file uses 30px green, the heaviest thing in the footer.

    text-3xl text-primary → text-2xl text-paper-foreground
  7. 7
    Issue 7:Add to cart

    Weak primary button

    Design is white text on brand green. The dev file is dark text on coral, lower contrast and off-brand.

    bg-accent text-accent-foreground → bg-primary text-primary-foreground

FAQ

Questions about visual design QA

What you can upload, how comparisons work, and what your developers get back.

What file types can I upload?

Upload any standard image: PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or AVIF. PNG works best for design QA because it is lossless, so compression artifacts are not mistaken for visual differences. Keep each file under 4.5 MB.

Can I use screenshots instead of Figma files?

Yes. Screenshots are the most common input. Any image of the approved design and any image of the current build can be compared, whether they come from Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, a browser, or a device simulator.

How do I compare a Figma design?

Export the frame from Figma as a PNG at the same width as the page you are testing, then upload it as the design reference. You can also paste a direct HTTPS link to an exported Figma image.

Can I paste a live website URL?

Links must point directly to an image served over HTTPS, such as a hosted screenshot. To check a live, staging, or localhost page, take a full-page screenshot in your browser and upload it. Private network and localhost URLs cannot be fetched.

Do the design and build images need to be the same size?

No, but matching sizes give the most accurate results. QA Troll scales the build image to the dimensions of the design reference, up to 1920 × 1600 pixels. Capture both at the same viewport width (desktop, tablet, or mobile) to avoid false differences.

What kinds of visual differences does QA Troll detect?

It measures pixel-level drift and reports real differences in layout, spacing, alignment, typography, color, corner radius, and content. Each finding includes a severity, a measurement, and a suggested fix.

Which frameworks are the code fixes written for?

Choose Tailwind CSS, plain CSS, React, Vue, SwiftUI, or Flutter for each project, and every fix is written for that stack so developers can paste it straight into their code.

Does it work for mobile apps?

Yes. Set a screen to the mobile or tablet viewport and upload screenshots from iOS, Android, or a device simulator. SwiftUI and Flutter guidance is available for native apps.

Can I check a whole user flow at once?

Yes. Group screens into flows, such as onboarding or checkout, and run the whole batch in one pass. Every screen, source, and result is saved together so you can rerun it after fixes ship.

How is this different from visual regression testing?

Visual regression tools compare a build against its previous version. QA Troll compares the build against the approved design, so it catches drift that was never correct in the first place.

Are my designs and screenshots private?

Yes. Uploads are stored in private storage tied to your account and are only used to run your comparisons. They are never shown publicly.

How much does QA Troll cost?

QA Troll Pro is $10 per month and includes unlimited projects, flows, and reruns. There is no contract, and you can cancel anytime.
