PDF comparison FAQs
Practical answers about how this tool compares content, what stays local and where its current limits are.
How does PDF comparison work?
Text differences extracts wording that each PDF exposes and compares it line by line. Visual differences renders matching pages in your browser and compares their pixels to reveal layout, font, image and rendering changes.
Are my PDF files uploaded or stored?
No. Diff Master reads, renders and compares the selected PDFs in this browser tab. The files, extracted text, rendered pages and results are not uploaded to or stored by Diff Master.
Can I compare PDFs with different page counts?
Yes. Pages are aligned by page number. A page that exists on only one side is reported as added or removed, and you can move through every changed page from the result toolbar.
What happens with scanned PDFs?
A scanned page may not expose text, so Text differences can report that page as unavailable. Use Visual differences to compare the rendered page appearance instead.
What PDF limits should I know about?
Each selected PDF can be up to 50 MB and 150 pages in the current version. Large or image-heavy documents can take longer and use more browser memory because processing stays on your device.
