Frequently asked questions

3
Does it compare images or scanned pages?
No. Images, layout, formatting and visual-only changes are not compared. Scanned PDFs need OCR first. Pages without extractable text are flagged rather than declared identical.
How are pages matched?
Pages are paired by page number, not semantic similarity. Inserting a page may cause later pages to be reported as changed. Word-level additions and removals identify changed text within each pair.
What are the limits?
Two unencrypted PDFs, each up to 25 MB, 200 pages and 500,000 extracted characters. Highly complex text differences may hit a comparison timeout. Files never leave your browser.
