Advanced PDF Comparison Tool Metadata, Content & Visuals
The ultimate tool to compare every aspect of your PDF files. Get AI-powered insights in seconds.
What is Our PDF Comparison Tool?
A powerful 3-in-1 utility that compares PDF metadata, generates summary of content changes, and provides a side-by-side visual viewer.
Detailed & Accurate Comparison
Our PDF Comparison tool gives you multiple ways to spot differences quickly. With Metadata View, you can instantly compare properties like file size, page count, author, and creation dates, all displayed in clear, color-coded cards for quick insights.
For deeper analysis, the Summary extracts text from both documents and generates a concise, human-readable overview of the key content differences. And if you prefer hands-on inspection, the Visual View lets you manually check each page in a synchronized side-by-side viewer, making it easy to spot layout and formatting changes at a glance.

💡 Tip: For best results, upload the original or older version as File 1 and the revised version as File 2.

Quick Tips for Effective Comparison
Start with the Summary
Quickly understand the scope of changes by reading summary first. It will guide you on which pages to focus on in the visual viewer.
Check the Metadata
Don't forget to check the metadata cards. A change in "Author" or "Creation Date" can be just as important as a change in text.
Use Synchronized Scrolling
The side-by-side viewer scrolls both documents at the same time. This makes it effortless to spot visual and layout differences page by page.

A Complete Game-Changer!
This is more than a comparison tool. The content summary pointed out a critical changed paragraph in a 100-page legal document, and the metadata cards showed the modification date was different. Saved me hours of work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get instant answers to common questions about our Advanced PDF Comparison tool.
Is it safe to upload my documents for comparison?
Yes, it is 100% safe. Your privacy is our top priority. The entire comparison process happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your data remains completely private.
What kind of differences can this tool detect?
This tool provides a 3-part analysis. It detects differences in:
1. Metadata: File properties like author, creation date, file size, and page count.
2. Content: The generated summary highlights changes in the actual text, such as added or removed paragraphs.
3. Visuals: The side-by-side viewer allows you to spot changes in layout, images, fonts, and formatting.
Is the Content Summary secure?
The content summary feature processes extracted text only for generating your comparison report. We never store this data, and your original PDF files always remain on your computer — they are never uploaded or shared.
Can I compare files with a different number of pages?
Yes. The side-by-side viewer will display pages up to the end of the longer document, showing a blank "End of Document" notice for the shorter one. The AI summary will also typically note that one document has more pages than the other.
What happens to my files after I'm done?
Since your original PDF files are never uploaded, they remain on your computer. All processing happens in your browser's memory, and this data is cleared when you close the tab or start over. We never see, access, or store your files.
