Common questions about Text Diff Checker.
It compares the two texts one line at a time and finds the longest matching sequence of lines. Lines that only appear in one text are marked as added or removed.
Green lines were added in the modified text. Red lines were removed from the original. Unchanged lines are shown without highlighting.
A diff treats a modified line as one removal plus one addition, so you can see the old and new version. Inside each line the exact changed characters are highlighted.
It treats runs of spaces, tabs and line-end differences as equal, so reformatted text is not reported as changed.
Each text can have up to 5,000 lines. Larger files are better compared with a desktop diff tool.
No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser, so the texts you paste are not uploaded or stored.
