Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PDF comparison work?

The tool renders each page of both PDFs as images, then performs a pixel-by-pixel comparison to detect visual differences. Changed areas are highlighted in red for easy identification.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your PDF files are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. Once you close the page, the files are gone.

What types of changes can the tool detect?

The tool detects any visual change: text edits, font changes, image modifications, layout shifts, added or removed content, color changes, and more.

Is there a page or file size limit?

Each PDF can have up to 50 pages and be up to 50 MB in size. These limits ensure smooth performance in the browser.

Can I compare PDFs with different page counts?

Yes. Pages are compared by their position (page 1 vs page 1, page 2 vs page 2). If one PDF has more pages, the extra pages are shown without comparison.
