Frequently asked questions

What does it compare?

The comparison is visual and pixel-based, so it detects linework, text, images and other rendered page changes.

Are documents uploaded?

No. Both PDFs are rendered and compared locally in your browser.

What if page sizes differ?

For reliable alignment, compare PDFs exported at the same page size, orientation and origin. The tool pads smaller pages with white space.
