In-browser PDF compare

See what changed, and what only moved

Drop two versions of a contract or drawing set. Moved notes read as moves, changed values light up digit by digit, and hidden text is named.

Compare PDF showing two engineering blueprints side by side. Rev A on the left, Rev B on the right. Red highlights mark regions where dimension callouts and hole counts changed.

Frequently asked

Added, removed, modified and moved text; added, removed and changed vector geometry down to the segment; edited images; form-field values on every page; annotations; inserted, removed and reordered pages.

Yes, with no mode to pick. Dimensions and leaders are recognised by their value and the feature they point at, so a label that slid along its line is a move, a changed value lights up only the changed digits, and an arrow re-pointed at another feature reads "retargeted". A view nudged to make room for a note is one move, not a red-and-green blot. Each change is tagged with its sheet region and X/Y position.

A page with no text layer is read by OCR in your browser (the OCR models download on first use and are cached), so a scanned revision compares text to text against the original. Such changes carry the OCR confidence and an OCR badge in the list; a line OCR cannot read stays a limit, and drawing geometry is not compared against a scan.

Yes. The output PDF inherits bookmarks and form fields from the chosen base document; the diff overlay is added as annotations.

A drawing set can be up to 150 MB per file on a computer, because it is compared sheet by sheet; other PDFs up to 100 MB per file, and every file on a phone or tablet. A set that large uses about 10 GB of memory while it is compared, so the tool says so and waits for you to start it.

PDF 1.0 through 2.0 are diffed page-for-page. Encrypted files need to be unlocked first.

The change counts by kind, page counts, file sizes, both files' SHA-256 fingerprints, a digest of the result, and the tool version, engine, build and date. It holds no file names and no document text. Anyone with the same two files opens the link, adds the files, and the page compares them in their browser to show whether the result matches.
