Frequently asked questions

Which PDF files work best?

PDFs with a real text layer. Scanned documents without OCR contain no text and will appear empty.

Are images also compared?

No, only the text content is compared.

How large can the files be?

There is no hard limit, but very large PDFs may take a moment. The tool caps at 2000 lines per file.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser. Your file never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free and without watermark, ads or account.
