What is Text Diff Checker (Line & Word Comparison)?
Text Diff shows exactly what changed between two versions of a document, contract, essay or code snippet. Paste the original and the revised text, then choose line, word or character comparison. Additions and deletions are highlighted so edits are easy to review. The comparison uses a standard diff algorithm and runs in your browser, which makes it safe for confidential documents.

Frequently asked questions
Which mode should I use?
Lines for source code and lists, words for articles and contracts, characters for spotting typos.
