Why use EditFreePDF?

🆚

Two modes

Side-by-side is great for reading; pixel diff catches tiny changes your eyes would miss — a moved decimal, an edited date.

📊

Quantified

Each page reports what percentage of pixels changed, so you can skim to the pages that actually differ.

🔒

Both files stay local

Contract redlines and confidential drafts are compared in your browser, not on a server.

Frequently asked questions

How can I see the differences between two PDFs?

Open the first PDF in EditFreePDF, click Compare, choose the second file, and use side-by-side or pixel-diff mode to review every page.

Will it catch small changes?

Yes — the pixel diff flags any visual change, including single-character edits, and tells you what percentage of the page changed.

Can I compare confidential documents safely?

Yes. Both files are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded.
