Compare the text of two PDFs and see the lines added and removed, directly in your browser.
Extracts each PDF's real text and compares it line by line. It's a text comparison, not a visual one: it doesn't detect layout, image or formatting changes that don't alter the text.
Use cases
- Check what changed between two versions of a PDF contract.
- Review text differences between two drafts of a report.
- Verify that a copy of a PDF hasn't been altered in content.

Frequently asked questions
Does it compare layout or only text?
Only text. It doesn't detect layout, color or image changes that don't affect the textual content.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No, it only compares real text already present in the PDF. A scanned PDF with no text layer has no content to compare.
