Visual diff for two PDFs · side-by-side with changes highlighted

Side-by-side visual diff of two PDFs. Renders both, highlights changed pixels per page in red, surfaces a mean-delta %. Great for contract revisions, design reviews, spec change tracking. Browser-only.

How to visual pdf diff

Three steps. Start to finish in under a minute.

1

Drop both PDFs

One on each side. Order matters: left is the 'old' version, right is the 'new'.

2

Tune sensitivity

Threshold slider controls what counts as a change. Default 20/255 catches real changes while ignoring anti-aliasing noise.

3

Review per-page

Each page shows old | diff overlay | new with the diff % for that page.
