A free browser-based tool for comparing PDF, Word, text, and Markdown documents, with word-level changes and redline views.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.

For: People reviewing contract and report revisions
Worth noticing: It pairs relocated clauses as moves, counts renamed defined terms, and filters recurring headers and footers.

Field notes

The comparison workflow is described in four stages, from reading PDF text geometry to aligning words and presenting the result. The page says recurring page furniture is excluded so page-number changes do not dominate the change list. It also names a meaningful boundary: scanned PDFs need OCR, which this tool does not provide.
