Compare PDFs or Text Files

Compare PDFs or Text Files is your intelligent assistant for analyzing, optimizing, and enhancing PDF documents and text files. Designed for efficiency and ease of use, this tool streamlines your document workflow with modern features and a user-friendly interface.

Key Features

  • Advanced Comparison Effortlessly compare two PDFs, two text files, or a PDF and a text file. Differences are clearly highlighted, and a similarity percentage is provided for quick analysis.

  • Clipboard Support Instantly compare a file’s content with the current clipboard text for fast, on-the-fly checks.

  • Drag & Drop Interface Load your files simply by dragging and dropping them into the application for a seamless experience.

  • PDF Rotation Rotate PDF pages left or right by 90°, with automatic backup of the original file for maximum safety.

  • PDF Optimization Reduce PDF file size using advanced image compression and removal of unused objects, making your documents lighter and easier to manage.

  • Handwritten Notes Enhancement Apply special filters to scanned handwritten notes on grid paper—your scanned notes will be clearer and more readable.

  • State Saving The app automatically saves and restores your last comparison, so you can pick up right where you left off.
