Compare PDF

Inspect textual and structural differences between two PDF documents side by side.

Your PDF is processed locally in your browser.

PDFSimplify processes documents on your device using client-side WebAssembly and Web Workers. No document data is transmitted to our servers or external cloud services during processing.

Client-Side Document Comparison

Compares page counts, extracted word vocabularies, and textual differences between two PDF files locally in your browser. Both documents remain strictly on your device.

Original Document (A)

Modified Document (B)

How Compare PDF Works in Your Browser

Extracts coordinate-level text and vocabulary from both documents using client-side Web Workers, computes set differences and token frequencies, and generates a structured diff report.

Why client-side processing is more private:

Unlike conventional online converters, your documents never traverse external networks to third-party processing servers. Everything happens inside your local machine’s memory.
