About this tool

A diff shows exactly what changed between two versions of a text, so you do not have to reread both side by side. Additions appear in green, removals in red, and everything else stays as it was, compared by lines, by words or by single characters.

It is the quickest way to check an edited contract, a revised policy or a config change before you accept it.

This tool is built by ToolClack and, like everything we make, it is local-first: your data stays in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Can it compare words instead of lines?

Yes. Pick Lines, Words or Characters: lines suit long documents and code, words and characters show small edits inside a sentence. Lines can also be shown side by side.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. Both texts are compared by your browser and never leave your device.

How long can the texts be?

Documents of a few thousand lines compare comfortably; very large files may take a moment in slower browsers.
