How text diff works
Line diff algorithms compare two texts line by line, marking each line as unchanged, added, removed, or modified.
- Removed lines — present in A but not in B
- Added lines — present in B but not in A
- Changed lines — same position but different content
Tip: For word-level diffs, ensure each logical change is on its own line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this do character-level diff?
This tool compares line by line. Put each change on a separate line for clearest results.
Can I diff code files?
Yes. Paste code snippets or config files into both fields and compare.
Is there a line limit?
Browser memory applies. Very large files (100K+ lines) may be slow — split into sections if needed.
Can I export the diff?
Copy the diff output from the result panel for pasting into tickets or emails.
Is this text diff tool free?
Yes. Unlimited comparisons with no signup.
Spot Changes Without Git
Not every text comparison needs a full git diff. Config tweaks, contract revisions, and email draft edits benefit from a quick side-by-side check — paste both versions and see exactly what changed without cloning a repository.
