About this Tool
Stop wasting time manually searching for changes. Our Diff Checker instantly compares two blocks of text or code and highlights every difference, line by line. Whether you're reviewing a code change, comparing document versions, or checking for subtle edits, this tool helps you spot every modification in seconds.
The tool uses a powerful diffing algorithm (similar to the one used in Git) to detect insertions, deletions, and modified lines between two texts. It then renders the results in a clean, side-by-side view, with additions highlighted in green and deletions in red.
- Paste the original text into the panel on the left.
- Paste the modified text into the panel on the right.
- The differences will be highlighted instantly.
- A developer reviewing code changes before a merge.
- A writer comparing two drafts of an article to see what's changed.
- An editor checking for revisions in a document.
- Side-by-Side Comparison: A clear, intuitive view of the changes.
- Line-by-Line Highlighting: Instantly spot additions (green) and deletions (red).
- Real-Time Updates: The diff updates automatically as you edit.
- Essential for Collaboration: Perfect for developers, writers, and editors.
Based on the principles of version control systems, a 'diff' (difference) algorithm calculates the minimal set of edits needed to transform one text into another. This allows for an efficient and accurate representation of changes.
Does it compare word by word?
Currently, it highlights differences on a line-by-line basis. Word-level highlighting is a planned future update.
Can it handle large files?
It's optimized for typical code and text files. Extremely large files may be slower to process depending on your browser.
Can I ignore whitespace changes?
This feature is not yet available but is on our roadmap for future improvements.
All calculations and data processing for this tool are performed locally in your browser. We do not send any of your data to our servers, ensuring your information remains private and secure.
