PDF Compare FAQ
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.
