Text Diff Checker

When you need to compare two versions of a document, finding the exact changes can be a difficult task. Manually scanning for differences is often slow and prone to errors. For this reason, our free online text diff checker offers an instant and accurate solution.

In fact, we designed this tool to highlight every addition and removal between two blocks of text. As a result, you can clearly see what has changed, which saves you a significant amount of time and effort.

How to Use the Text Diff Checker

1. Add the Original Text: First, paste the original version of your text into the box on the left.

2. Add the Changed Text: Next, paste the new or modified version of your text into the box on the right.

3. Choose a Comparison Type: After that, you can select whether to compare the texts by “Character,” “Word,” or “Line” for different levels of detail.

4. View the Differences: Finally, click the “Compare” button. The tool will then generate a single, merged text that clearly highlights all the differences for you.

Text Diff Checker FAQs

• Q: What do the highlighted colors mean? A: The color coding is simple and intuitive. For instance, any text that is highlighted in red has been removed from the original version. On the other hand, text highlighted in green indicates an addition in the new version.

• Q: When should I use each diff type? A: The best type depends on your content. Specifically, “Line” is excellent for comparing lines of code or lists. “Word” is ideal for prose and paragraphs, while “Character” is perfect for finding very small, specific changes, like a single typo.

• Q: Is the text I enter into this tool saved anywhere? A: No. We take your privacy very seriously. In fact, all text comparison happens directly in your browser. This means your data is never sent to or stored on our servers.
