How It Works

Tools like Draftable and Adobe charge for good PDF comparison, and PDF24 uploads your files. This compares two PDFs visually in your browser — neither file leaves your device.

  1. 1
    You drop in two PDFs
    An "original" (A) and a "changed" (B). Both are rendered locally with pdf.js.
  2. 2
    Each page is rendered to an image
    The matching page from each document is drawn to a canvas at the same scale, in your browser.
  3. 3
    You choose how to compare
    Side by side, an onion-skin overlay with an opacity slider, or a pixel-difference view that highlights changed areas in red and reports the percentage changed.
  4. 4
    You page through the documents
    Step through every page; pages that exist in only one file are flagged.

Contracts and drafts are sensitive, and most comparison tools upload them. Here everything is rendered and compared on your device — ideal for reviewing revised agreements, statements, and documents privately.
