Document Compare Free Online — Compare Two Scans | Pixlane

Compare two scans or document photos and highlight visual changes directly in the browser with a downloadable diff view.

Document Compare is useful when revisions, proofs, or resubmitted scans need a fast visual check before filing, approval, or handoff. It helps surface changed regions without leaving the browser or sending the pages to a remote comparison service.

How to Use It

  1. Upload your document image and wait for the local preview to load.
  2. Adjust the settings — Upload the original page, add the revised page as the second image, tune highlight sensitivity, and export the visual diff.
  3. Download the result after the tool renders on your device.

Why People Use Document Compare

Use the cleaner page as the first upload when possible, then raise sensitivity only until the changed regions appear without highlighting paper texture noise.

Formats and Output

Input: two document images. Output: PNG, JPG, or WebP. The exported file keeps the first page and overlays highlighted differences from the second upload.
