Features and use cases

Side-by-side or inline diff for code, configs, and copy revisions with optional whitespace ignore.

Use before merges, contract reviews, translation diffs, and API response comparisons.

This tool compares raw text lines; use JSON Diff for structured field-level JSON changes.

Typical Workflow

After opening the text diff tool, paste the original text (e.g. old config file) in the left box and the modified version on the right. Click 'Compare' to see additions (green), deletions (red) and modified lines highlighted instantly. No registration or file uploads needed – all processing happens in your browser, perfect for quick code or document reviews.

Use line numbers to navigate long texts. Click any highlighted line to expand context for detailed inspection. When comparing logs, removing timestamps first helps focus on key changes. You can copy the colored results or take screenshots for records.

FAQ

Word-level diff?

Currently line-level; lines must match exactly to count as unchanged.

Why are some identical lines marked as modified?

This often happens due to spaces, tabs or line breaks. Enable 'Show whitespace' to reveal these hidden differences, or normalize text format before comparing.
