Spot the Differences Instantly
Comparing two versions of text manually is tedious and error-prone. Our Text Compare Tool (also called Diff) highlights exactly what changed between two texts, making reviews, audits, and debugging much faster.
Difference Types
| Type | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Addition | Green | New text in version 2 |
| Deletion | Red | Removed from version 1 |
| Unchanged | Gray | Same in both versions |
💡 Pro Tip
For code comparison, consider character-level diff which shows exactly which characters changed within a line, not just that the line was modified.
Common Use Cases
Document Review
Compare contract revisions, policy updates, or essay drafts to see exactly what was changed between versions.
Code Review
See what changed in configuration files, scripts, or code snippets without a full version control system.
Quality Assurance
Verify that automated changes (search-replace, formatting) produced the expected results without unintended modifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does whitespace matter?
By default, all characters including spaces and tabs are compared. Enable "Ignore whitespace" to focus on content changes only.
Can I compare files directly?
Paste file contents into the text areas. For large files, dedicated diff tools like VS Code or GitHub's diff view may be more suitable.
Is the comparison case-sensitive?
Yes, by default "Hello" and "hello" are considered different. Toggle case-insensitive mode if needed.
