How to use the Diff Checker

  1. 01

    Paste the original text on the left and the changed text on the right.

  2. 02

    Optionally ignore case or whitespace differences.

  3. 03

    Read the line-by-line diff: green is added, red is removed.

What this diff checker does

This text diff checker compares two blocks of text and highlights exactly what changed: which lines were added, which were removed, and the specific words within a changed line. Green marks additions, red marks removals.

Because the comparison runs entirely in your browser, it is fast and private, suitable even for confidential documents and code that you would not want to paste into a server-side service.

The algorithm behind it

It uses a longest-common-subsequence diff, the same core algorithm Git and most code-review tools use, so it reports the smallest, clearest set of changes rather than flagging everything after the first difference.

Ignore case or whitespace

Options let you ignore case or whitespace, which is useful when the only real differences are meaningful ones and you do not want indentation changes or capitalization to clutter the result.

What you can compare

Line-based diffing works equally well for source code, configuration files, logs, JSON, and ordinary prose, so it is handy for comparing two versions of a contract, spotting what changed between two config files, or reviewing an edit to an article.

Paste the original on one side and the changed version on the other, toggle the options you need, and the differences appear immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How does the comparison work?

It compares the two texts line by line using a longest-common-subsequence diff, the same approach Git uses, so you get the smallest set of changes.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Can it compare code or config files?

Yes. Line-based diffing works well for source code, config files, logs and prose alike.

Does it show word-level changes too?

Yes. Within a changed line it highlights the specific words that were added or removed, so small edits are easy to spot.

Can I ignore case or whitespace?

Yes. Optional toggles let you ignore case and whitespace differences, so only the meaningful changes are highlighted.

Is there a size limit?

There is no fixed limit, but because the diff runs in your browser tab, very large texts use more memory. Everyday documents and files compare instantly.
