Text Diff Checker

Paste an original and revised version to get a line-by-line difference without sending either text to a server.

Use the tool

Use the options when letter case or spacing should not count as a meaningful change.

How it works

Get a useful result in three steps

  1. Paste the original text on the left.
  2. Paste the revised text on the right and choose normalization options.
  3. Compare and copy the marked line diff.
Accuracy boundary

A focused tool, not an automatic expert

The current implementation compares up to 600 lines per side and reports line changes rather than character-level edits.

Always verify the result in the system where you will use it. The page intentionally avoids accounts, uploads, and claims that go beyond the calculation it performs.

Questions

Before you use the result

Is the comparison private?

Yes. The comparison is computed locally in your browser and the text is not intentionally uploaded.

What does Ignore whitespace do?

It collapses repeated whitespace and trims line edges for comparison while still displaying the original lines.

Why is a changed line shown as removed and added?

This tool uses a line-oriented diff. A modified line is represented as one removal followed by one addition.
