Compare PDF

Word-level diff between two PDF versions, side by side.

How it works

  1. Drop the original PDF on the left and the modified version on the right.
  2. Run the comparison: text is extracted page by page and diffed word by word.
  3. Review per-page cards: additions highlighted in green, deletions struck through in red, with +/− counts per page and a total summary.
  4. Swap the two files with one click if you loaded them in the wrong order.

What people use it for

  • Checking what actually changed between two contract versions before signing.
  • Verifying an edited report against the approved original.
  • Auditing revisions when the sender didn't provide a change log.

Good to know

  • The diff is text-level: wording changes are caught precisely, but layout shifts, image changes, and formatting-only edits are not flagged.
  • Pages are compared by position (page 3 vs page 3); an inserted page shifts later comparisons and shows as heavy add/remove around the insertion.
  • Extremely dense pages fall back to line-level diffing past 20,000 tokens to stay fast.

Frequently asked questions

Can it compare scanned PDFs?

Only if they contain a text layer. Run both files through PDF OCR first, then compare the searchable versions.

Will it show moved paragraphs as moves?

A moved block appears as a deletion in its old place and an addition in the new one — the tool does not track movement as a separate change type.

Are both documents kept private?

Yes. Extraction and diffing run in your browser; neither version is uploaded — which is exactly what you want when comparing unsigned contract drafts.
