# How do I compare two versions of an AI image?

Put the two versions side by side at the same size and check them against your request: first what you asked to change, then what you asked to keep. Faces, text, product details and edges are the easiest things to miss at thumbnail size.

OpenAI's prompting guide recommends comparing results before adding more instructions and inspecting each result, because repeated edits can change details you meant to preserve.

Look at full size before you approve. Small errors, such as a misspelled word or a changed finger, often only show when you zoom in.

In ImageQuarry you compare versions, choose one and download it; earlier versions stay in the project.
