Compare PDF for architects

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets architecture teams compare two PDFs in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Comparing two PDFs highlights what changed between versions — added, removed and edited text — so you can review revisions at a glance.

Why architects compare two PDFs

An architect merges plan sheets and schedules into one issue set, compares two drawing revisions for changes, and exports key sheets to images for a client presentation.

Built for plan sets. Whether it's plan sets, schedules, specifications, Arthize's compare pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Designs and client plans are proprietary; private processing protects the practice's work.

What matters when you compare two PDFs

Comparison highlights text differences between two versions of a document.

It is the fast way to review contract or draft revisions.

Both files are processed privately and deleted after the job.
