Text Diff
Compare and diff two blocks of text.
About the Text Diff
Compares two blocks of text and highlights precisely what was added and removed. Useful for config files, log excerpts, contract wording, and anything you would otherwise squint at in two windows. Because the comparison happens in your browser, you can safely diff internal documents and production configuration.
How to use the Text Diff
- Paste the original text on the left.
- Paste the changed text on the right.
- Read the highlighted result: additions and deletions are marked distinctly.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my text uploaded to compare it?
- No. The diff is computed in your browser, which is what makes it safe for internal or confidential material.
- Can it diff JSON?
- It will diff JSON as text, which is noisy when keys are reordered. For a structural comparison that ignores key order, use the JSON Diff tool.
- Does it detect moved blocks?
- No. A moved block shows as a deletion in one place and an addition in another, which is standard behaviour for line-based diffs.
