How to compare two PDF files

  1. Upload Document A (the original) and Document B (the revised version).
  2. Click Compare PDFs — every page is rendered and diffed in your browser.
  3. Use the page grid to jump to any page — red means it differs, green means it matches.
  4. Download a diff image for any page you need to share.

Useful for reviewing contract revisions, comparing document drafts, checking whether a form template changed, or spotting what's different between two scanned copies of the same document.

PDF Compare FAQ

Is this PDF compare tool free?

Yes. It's completely free with no signup and no watermark, and there's no page limit built into pricing — just the practical cap noted below.

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

No. Both files are rendered and compared entirely in your browser using PDF.js — they never leave your device.

How does it decide what counts as a difference?

Each page from both documents is rendered to an image at the same scale, then compared pixel by pixel. Areas that differ are highlighted in red; unchanged areas are shown faded so you can still see the surrounding context.

What if the two PDFs have different page counts?

You'll see a clear notice, and the tool compares the first N pages, where N is the smaller of the two page counts.

Is there a page limit?

Up to 30 pages are compared per run, and each file must be under 30MB — this keeps browser-based rendering fast and reliable.

The workflow accepts pdf source input and produces pdf processed result through a clean browser interface that is easy to understand for first-time users and still efficient for frequent users.

Compare helps users finish pdf tasks with less friction and better consistency.
