Compare PDF for students

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets students 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 students compare two PDFs

The night before a deadline, a student merges lecture slides with their notes, compresses a scanned reading under the portal's 10MB limit, and annotates the key pages for revision — free, with no watermark on the result.

Built for lecture slides. Whether it's lecture slides, readings, assignments, Arthize's compare pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Students often work on shared or library computers; a tool that processes files privately and deletes them keeps coursework and ID scans out of strangers' hands.

What matters when you compare two PDFs

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