From drop zones to a highlighted diff PDF.

Built for SEC filings, financial statements, contracts, and compliance packs where pagination drifts and line-level truth matters.

Why local

Embeddings on device. Documents never leave.

PDF Diff uses on-device embeddings for page alignment—no comparison API, no upload, no internet required for the core workflow. Privacy is the product, not a footnote.

  • Auto alignment with reading-order, semantic, and page-number strategies
  • Job queue with progress, cancel, and recent files
  • Configurable similarity threshold, highlight colors, and compression
  • Light, dark, and system themes

Legal teams

Track contract revisions without parking client PDFs in someone else’s cloud.

Auditors & analysts

Spot what changed between versions when pagination and layout refuse to cooperate.
