Compare Two Texts

Paste two versions of anything to see exactly what changed: new lines in green, removed lines in red, and the edited words inside each changed line picked out. It all runs in your browser.

Compared on your device. Your text is never uploaded.

Comparing two versions of a text

The moment you paste both versions, they're compared using the Myers diff algorithm – the same one Git relies on. New lines show in green and removed lines in red, and where a line was edited rather than replaced, the exact words that changed are marked within it, so a different date or a missing comma jumps out. Flip between side-by-side and a compact unified view, ignore case or whitespace differences, and collapse long unchanged stretches to focus on what matters. It's handy for contracts, essays, code, config files and CSV data. Both texts stay in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded or stored, so confidential drafts and private code are safe.

Questions & answers

How are the differences found?

The texts are compared line by line with the Myers diff algorithm (as used by Git) to find the smallest set of changes, then edited lines are compared word by word to show exactly what changed.

Can I compare confidential documents safely?

Yes. The comparison runs entirely in your browser – neither text is uploaded, stored or logged – so contracts, private code and drafts stay on your device.
