v1.0.0 First stable release

The 1.0 of Pixel Perfect Advanced: a complete design-overlay workflow for pixel-accurate frontend work, free and fully local. Everything below is included, with no tiers and no upsell.

Overlays & comparison

  • Unlimited overlay layers on any page - no two-layer cap
  • Five blend modes: normal, invert, difference, multiply and overlay
  • Per-layer opacity, scale and pixel-precise X/Y positioning
  • Keyboard nudging with configurable small and large steps
  • Click through locked overlays so the page underneath stays usable
  • Fixed or absolute positioning for long, scrolling pages
  • Fit-to-width, center and snap-to-edge alignment helpers

Panels & input

  • Two panel modes: a docked side panel and a draggable floating panel that collapses to a compact pill
  • Add images by upload, URL, paste (Ctrl/Cmd+V) or drag-and-drop anywhere on the panel
  • Undo and redo for layer changes (Ctrl/Cmd+Z / Shift+Z)
  • Window-to-layer viewport emulation to match a mockup width without resizing the browser

Library & presets

  • A built-in media library that keeps every imported image, with folders and pinning
  • Reusable presets for opacity and blend defaults
  • Per-site auto-restore: layers, opacity and position come back exactly as you left them

Platform & polish

  • Chrome, Edge and Firefox builds
  • Light, dark and system themes
  • English and Russian
  • In-panel help and feedback, plus a contact form on the site
  • No account, no telemetry - everything stays in your browser
v0.9.0 Release candidate

Feature-complete release candidate: the layer cap is gone and the last rough edges are sanded down ahead of 1.0.

  • Removed the layer cap - add as many overlays as you need
  • In-panel help and a feedback link, plus the contact form on the site
  • Faster rendering with many layers on large, scrolling pages
  • Fixes across positioning, per-site restore and panel focus
v0.8.0 Beta

Cross-browser beta: the extension now builds for Edge and Firefox alongside Chrome.

  • Edge and Firefox builds join Chrome
  • Firefox sidebar and Chromium side panel reach parity
  • Consistent keyboard shortcuts across browsers
  • Graceful fallback where a browser lacks viewport emulation
v0.7.0 Beta

Viewport emulation lands, so you can match a mockup's width without touching your window.

  • Window-to-layer viewport emulation to match a design width
  • Counter-scaled panel stays clickable while the page is emulated
  • System theme option alongside light and dark
  • Live viewport width readout in the panel header
v0.6.0 Beta

Presets and a fifth blend mode: save your defaults and invert an overlay in one click.

  • Invert blend mode - five blend modes in total
  • Reusable presets for opacity and blend defaults
  • Quick-apply presets from the panel
  • Remembered default opacity and blend for new layers
v0.5.0 Beta

The floating panel arrives: a draggable, collapsible panel you can place anywhere on the page.

  • Draggable floating panel that collapses to a compact pill
  • Switch freely between the docked side panel and the floating panel
  • Panel position and collapsed state remembered per session
  • Drop an image anywhere on the page to add it as a layer
v0.4.0 Beta

A real media library: every image you import is kept, organized and one click away.

  • Built-in media library for all imported images
  • Folders and pinning to organize references
  • Reuse any stored image as a new layer
  • Thumbnails with quick search
v0.3.0 Alpha

More ways in, and a safety net: URL, paste and drag-and-drop imports, plus undo and redo.

  • Add images by URL and by paste (Ctrl/Cmd+V)
  • Drag-and-drop images onto the panel
  • Undo and redo for layer changes (Ctrl/Cmd+Z / Shift+Z)
  • More robust URL import with clearer errors
v0.2.0 Alpha

Precision controls for getting an overlay exactly where it belongs.

  • Pixel-precise X/Y positioning and per-layer scale
  • Keyboard nudging with configurable small and large steps
  • Fit-to-width, center and snap-to-edge helpers
  • Numeric fields with drag-to-scrub
