About this tool

Paste two versions of a text, a config file or a code snippet and see exactly which lines were added, removed or changed. The Diff Checker computes a line-by-line diff using the same longest-common-subsequence approach as command line diff, with colour-coded output.

Ideal for comparing two API responses, two drafts of a document, or a config before and after a deploy — without installing anything and without uploading the text.

How to use it

  1. Paste the original text on the left and the new text on the right.
  2. The diff is computed automatically.
  3. Added lines show in green, removed lines in red; unchanged lines stay neutral.

Frequently asked questions

Does it compare word by word?

It works line by line, like Git. A changed line shows as one removed and one added line.

Is there a size limit?

No hard limit; files with thousands of lines compare in well under a second.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The diff is computed in your browser.
