See what changed
on the ground.

Satellite photos of any place, side by side in seconds: what was there, what is gone and what is new, each with the date it was photographed.

Every change opens the two photos themselves: the spot, the dates, the resolution, and the original imagery one click away.

NEWEvery change the AI reports must describe both photos. Anything it cannot show in both, we throw away

Photos listed in seconds · comparison in about 30 seconds

For geographic verification only. A photo you drop is read in your browser for its GPS position and never uploaded. Every change carries a grid cell and a sentence about both photos, so you can check it by eye before you write about it. How it works

Settings 7 of 7 checks on

These are the mechanical checks. They run on the photos and their records, with no model involved, before the AI reads anything.

How it works

Two passes. The first is mechanical: it lists every dated photo the archive holds for your spot, removes duplicates, and checks the pair you picked for the traps that fool the eye, with no model involved. The second is the AI: it reads both photos cell by cell and says what is gone and what is new. Every change must name what is visible in the first photo and in the second; a change that does not is thrown away before it reaches you.

1 · Mechanical checks

Pick two photos to run the checks.

2 · What changed

One click: the AI finds the changes, then you get a movie of them.

The AI reads exactly what the map shows now, the square in the middle, and reports changes per grid cell. Takes 20 to 60 seconds.

Sources and limits

Source. Esri World Imagery Wayback: every version of Esri's satellite basemap since February 2014, kept as dated releases. For your spot the tool asks which releases hold a different photo, then reads each photo's capture date, resolution and provider from Esri's records.

Zoom matters. The dated high-resolution photos live at zoom 16 to 18. Further out both sides can show the same coarse mosaic; further in there may be no archive photo.

Not every change is there. Esri updates a place when it has new imagery, sometimes years apart. The archive holds what Esri published, not every image a satellite took.
