Frame.io adds full-screen search and pixel-level diff comparison
By Steven Van ·
Both features are available on all plans, alongside an iOS redesign and new integrations for Adobe After Effects, Leica and Accsoon gear.
Frame.io shipped a dedicated full-screen search workspace along with an upgraded Comparison Viewer, two changes aimed at the same underlying problem: finding and comparing assets in a growing media library without constantly opening files one at a time.
A real search workspace, not a search box
Full-screen search gives users a dedicated space to explore their entire library, filter by project and object type, preview results without opening individual assets, and run bulk operations directly from the results. It indexes notes and filenames, so searching for a detail mentioned in a review comment surfaces the relevant asset, not just files whose name happens to match. Users can toggle between standard keyword search and AI-powered results depending on whether they know exactly what they're looking for or need something closer to a semantic search. It's available on all plans.
Pixel Diff for exact comparisons
The Comparison Viewer gained slider-based overlays for viewing two versions side by side, plus a Pixel Diff mode that highlights exactly what changed between them. It works for image and PDF comparisons where dimensions match, useful for design review, color grading checks, or catching an unintended change between export versions. Like search, this is available across all plans rather than gated to higher tiers.
Everything else in the release
The update bundles several smaller changes: a full iOS redesign built on Apple's latest design system with nine new language options, new integrations for Adobe After Effects, CuttingRoom Cloud Editor, Leica SL3-P cameras, Silverstack Lab v9.3, and Accsoon CineView M7 cameras, plus Frame.io now appearing directly in Adobe Creative Cloud's Top App Bar for faster switching between apps. Share Lists, reusable collaborator groups for batch sharing with free Reviewer access, round out the release for Pro and above plans.
Why it adds up
Individually these are incremental improvements, but together they reduce the friction points that slow down creative review at scale, finding the right asset, comparing versions precisely, and sharing with the right people repeatedly without rebuilding a list each time.
