  2. 2Paste the changed text on the right.
  3. 3See the differences highlighted, line by line or word by word.

Features

  • Optionally ignores case and extra spaces.
  • Folds long unchanged sections so the changes stand out.
  • Handles tens of thousands of lines.
  • Private: nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Which algorithm does it use?

The Myers diff algorithm, the same approach as git. It finds the smallest set of changes.

Can I compare code?

Yes. Line mode with a monospace font works well for code and config files.

Is there a size limit?

No fixed limit. Very different texts over a few thousand changes are shown as a block of removed and added lines.
