How to compare two texts
To compare two texts, paste your original block on one side and the changed block on the other, and the Text Diff tool computes a line-by-line comparison. Changed lines are flagged, and within them inline word highlights show the precise additions and deletions so nothing is missed.
Because the Text Diff tool runs client-side in your browser, both blocks stay on your device and are never uploaded. That makes it safe for comparing drafts, code snippets, contracts, or any sensitive text, with no signup required.

What Text Diff is built for
The Text Diff tool focuses on showing exactly what changed in the source text itself, which keeps the interface simple and avoids rendered-format noise. It is ideal for proofreading edits, reviewing copy changes, and spotting small differences between two versions.
It is a compare-and-inspect tool rather than a merge editor, so it highlights differences instead of combining the two sides. That narrow scope keeps the diff clear and easy to scan, and the inline word highlights make even single-character edits obvious.
