Doc Diff
Compare PDF, Word and text files without uploading them
Compare PDF, DOCX and pasted text side by side, even across formats. Highlight changes, edit the revised text and export the result. Runs in your browser without uploading your documents. Free, open source, and available as an offline HTML file.
Hi Product Hunt, I’m Tobias, the maker of Doc Diff.
It’s a small, free, open-source tool for comparing document versions without uploading them to a comparison service.
You can compare PDF, Word and pasted text, including PDF against Word. Review the changes, edit the revised text and export the result. No account or AI model needed. You can also download it as a single HTML file and use it offline.
One limitation: it compares text, not page layouts. Scanned PDFs need OCR first (for now).
Try it: https://docdiff.app

Cool idea. Thank you for keeping it foss. I am a business analyst, so I do need my design doc to compared with its previous version. Is the app only recognize text changes? What about images/screenshots changes in the document?
