What gets compared
Compared
The text of each paragraph and heading, in reading order, page by page.
Inferred
A PDF stores positioned glyphs, not paragraphs. Headings and paragraph breaks are worked out from font size and line spacing.
Ignored
Fonts, colours, images, form fields, annotations and exact page positions.
Scans
A scanned page holds no text to compare. This tool does not run OCR.
Privacy
Both files are read in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
