Compare two PDFs and see what changed
When a contract, form or report comes back revised, this tool shows exactly what changed. Add the first and second PDF, and it compares the text page by page and line by line, listing each differing line pair on screen and in a downloadable report. If the page counts differ, it says so plainly.
How to do it
- Add the first PDF, then the second PDF.
- Click Compare PDFs.
- Read the differences on screen, or download the report.
Common questions
Does it compare formatting or images?
It compares the text content line by line. Layout, fonts and image changes are not compared.
What if the PDFs are scans?
Scanned pages have no text layer to compare, so differences cannot be detected without OCR.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Both files are compared on your device.
