Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our PDF comparison tool.

How does the PDF comparison tool work?

Our PDF comparison tool loads two PDF documents in your browser and displays them side by side. You can navigate through pages, zoom in/out, and choose different view modes to easily spot differences between documents. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Can I compare PDFs with different page counts?

Yes! You can compare PDFs with different numbers of pages. The tool will handle this gracefully, allowing you to navigate through all pages in both documents, even if one document has more pages than the other.

Is my data safe? Are my PDF files uploaded to your servers?

Absolutely safe! All processing happens directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your PDF files never leave your device and are never uploaded to our servers. This ensures complete privacy and security of your documents.

What view modes and options are available?

Our tool offers multiple zoom levels (50% to 200%), view modes (side-by-side, overlay, split-screen), and page synchronization options. You can customize the viewing experience to best suit your comparison needs.

Can I highlight or mark differences between PDFs?

Currently, the tool focuses on visual comparison by displaying documents side by side. While it doesn't automatically highlight differences, the intuitive interface makes it easy to spot changes by visually comparing the documents.

Can I jump to specific pages for comparison?

Yes! The tool provides navigation controls that allow you to jump to any specific page in either document. Page synchronization can be enabled to keep both documents on the same page automatically.

What browsers are supported for this tool?

Our PDF comparison tool works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. PDF.js library support is built into most current browser versions, ensuring compatibility across different platforms and devices.

Is there a file size limit for PDF documents?

There are no artificial file size limits imposed by our tool. However, very large PDF documents may take longer to process and could be limited by your device's available memory. For best performance, we recommend PDFs under 50MB.

Can I use this tool on mobile devices?

Yes! Our tool is fully responsive and works on mobile devices and tablets. You can select PDF files from your device and convert them to WebP images directly from your mobile browser.

What should I do if the comparison fails or gets stuck?

If you encounter issues, try refreshing the page and uploading the PDFs again. Make sure you're using a modern browser and have sufficient memory available. For very large documents, the loading may take longer. If problems persist, please contact our support team.
