Frequently Asked Questions

How does Vytra Compare PDF spot differences between two documents? +
Vytra PDF Compare offers two powerful viewing modes: Synchronized Side-by-Side mode (aligning matching pages side by side for direct manual clause-by-clause reading) and Visual Diff Overlay mode (using HTML5 Canvas composite subtraction to immediately highlight altered letters, changed figures, and modified paragraphs in contrasting bright magenta).
Are my legal contracts or agreements uploaded to external servers? +
No. Both PDF documents are loaded, parsed, and rendered entirely in your browser memory using WebAssembly. Neither file is ever uploaded, cached, or transmitted over the internet, guaranteeing complete privacy for confidential business agreements, NDAs, and court filings.
What happens if the two PDF files have different page counts? +
Our comparison viewer calculates the maximum page count across both files. If Document 2 has additional pages (e.g. 10 pages vs 8 pages), the viewer clearly indicates when a document has ended, allowing you to review the newly added annexures smoothly.
Can I zoom in on fine print and tables while comparing? +
Yes. The toolbar features dual zoom controls (50% to 200%) that scale both documents in perfect synchrony, making it easy to inspect footnotes, serial numbers, and complex pricing matrices.
Is this tool free without daily limits or document watermarks? +
Yes. Vytra PDF Compare is 100% free with unlimited comparisons, no account registration required, and zero watermarks.
