How to Compare Two PDF Files

Three simple steps. No account, no watermark, no waiting.

1

Add both PDFs

Drop the original PDF on the left and the modified version on the right, or tap the buttons on mobile.

2

Pick a comparison mode

Visual compare highlights every changed pixel in red, while Text compare shows exact word by word additions and deletions.

3

Review the differences

Browse page by page, scan the whole document for changed pages in one click, and download the highlighted difference image.

Everything You Need to Diff PDF Documents

Professional document comparison, free on any device.

Private by design

Contracts, invoices and legal documents are handled by secure protected processing and are never collected, stored or shared with anyone.

Visual pixel comparison

Every changed pixel is highlighted in red on a difference view, instantly exposing moved logos, edited images, added stamps and layout shifts.

Word by word text diff

Extracted text from both versions is compared word by word: deletions appear struck through in red and additions highlighted in green, exactly like professional redlining.

One-click full document scan

Scan every page pair in one click and get an instant list of exactly which pages changed, with tap-to-jump buttons for each one.

Download the evidence

Export the highlighted difference view of any page as a PNG image, perfect for sharing review feedback or keeping an audit record.

Handles unequal documents

Different page counts, sizes and orientations are handled gracefully: extra or missing pages are flagged clearly so nothing slips through.

Works on any device

Fully mobile optimized: panes stack vertically on phones, navigation is thumb friendly, and comparisons run just as well on Android and iPhone.

Truly free

No watermark, no page limit tricks, no sign up, no trial. Compare unlimited PDF pairs of up to 200 pages each, at zero cost, forever.

Compare Two PDF Files Online and Spot Every Change

This PDF compare tool places two versions of a document side by side and finds every difference between them, both visually and in the text. It is ideal for checking contract revisions, verifying invoice corrections, reviewing edited reports, proofing print files and confirming that nothing was quietly changed in a document you are about to sign. Everything is handled by secure protected processing, so confidential files are never collected, stored or shared.

Visual Diff and Text Diff in One Tool

Visual compare renders each page pair and paints changed pixels red on a dedicated difference view, which catches things text comparison cannot: replaced images, moved logos, new stamps and signatures, font changes and layout shifts. Text compare extracts the words from both versions and produces a professional redline, with deletions struck through in red and additions highlighted in green, plus a count of changed words per page.

Built for Contracts, Invoices and Legal Documents

Comparing document versions manually is slow and risky: a single changed number in a contract or invoice can be expensive. The full document scan checks every page pair in one click and lists exactly which pages differ, so a fifty page agreement can be verified in seconds. Pair it with our free PDF Editor to fix what you find, or Merge PDF to combine approved versions.

Tips for Accurate Comparison

Load the older version as PDF A and the newer one as PDF B so additions and deletions read naturally. Scanned PDFs compare best in Visual mode, since scanners add tiny pixel noise; text based PDFs shine in Text mode. If two files have different page counts, the scan list flags the extra pages so you immediately know where content was inserted or removed.
