PDF Visual Compare

Render selected pages from two PDFs and compare them with overlays, a slider, or flicker.

Files and settings

You can also drag and drop files here.

File contents and names are not stored or uploaded.

PDFs: about 41.9 MB and 100 pages per file. Image extraction: 24 MP each, about 100.7 MB total output. Page and image dimension inspection does not decode images.

Purpose and use

Visually check layout and image changes between selected pages of two PDF revisions.

Example

Compare page 1 of A with page 2 of B when a revision changes the page order.

Interpreting the result

Pages are rendered at 72 PPI. Different page dimensions remain visibly different.

Limits and caveats

This is not a semantic text diff or print color proof. Fonts and transparency depend on PDF.js rendering.

For higher-resolution checks, use PDF to Image followed by Image Compare.

Frequently asked questions

Will this change the original file?

No. Downloads are separate files. Closing the page discards the loaded content and results.
