Batch & compare

Compare two PDFs

Compare two versions of a PDF: see the lines of text that were added or removed, with the changed words marked, and which pages look different. Done on your device; neither file is uploaded.

  2. 2Wait a moment while they are compared.
  3. 3Read the changes, or download them as a text file.

Your file stays on this device

PDF Tools does the work inside your browser. Your file isn't uploaded or stored, and the site is technically blocked from sending it anywhere.

Good to know

  • The text comparison works on PDFs that contain real text. For scans, the page comparison still shows what looks different.
  • Pages are compared by position, so an inserted page makes the pages after it look different.
