The Text Diff Checker compares two pieces of text and shows exactly what has changed between them. Additions are marked with a plus sign (+), removals with a minus sign (-), and unchanged lines are shown for context. A summary at the bottom tells you how many lines or words were added and removed.

This tool is essential for developers comparing code versions, writers tracking document revisions, and anyone who needs to spot differences between two texts. Choose between line-by-line and word-by-word comparison modes depending on the granularity you need.

All comparison is done locally in your browser using the industry-standard diff algorithm. Your texts are never sent to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the + and - symbols mean?
Lines starting with '+' were added in the modified text. Lines starting with '-' were removed from the original text. Lines starting with a space are unchanged and shown for context.
What is the difference between line and word mode?
Line mode compares the texts line by line, showing entire lines that were added or removed. Word mode compares individual words, which is more granular and useful for finding small changes within lines.
Is this tool suitable for comparing code?
Yes, the line-by-line mode works very well for comparing code files. It uses the same diff algorithm used by version control systems like Git.
Can I compare large documents with this diff tool?
Yes, since all processing happens in your browser, you can compare large documents without upload limits. Performance depends on your device, but typical documents of several thousand lines are handled smoothly.
