What is PDF Compare (Visual Diff)?
PDF Compare is a free online tool that lets you compare two PDF files and see exactly what changed between them.
Upload two PDFs and the tool renders each page at the same resolution, then performs a pixel-level comparison. Differences are highlighted in red on a grayscale background. View results side-by-side or in diff view, navigate through all pages, and see the difference percentage for each page. Perfect for comparing document revisions, contract changes, or design iterations.
