How to Use the Text Compare Tool
Instantly find and highlight the differences between two pieces of text. This "diff" tool is perfect for comparing documents, code, or any other text to see what has been added or removed.
- Paste Original Text: Copy and paste the first version of your text into the "Original Text" box on the left.
- Paste Modified Text: Paste the second version of your text into the "Modified Text" box on the right.
- Compare Texts: Click the "Compare Texts" button. The differences will be displayed below, with additions highlighted in green and removals in red.
Key Features
- Clear Highlighting: Easily spot changes with color-coded highlighting for added (green) and removed (red) text.
- Word-Level Comparison: The tool intelligently compares text word by word to provide a precise and easy-to-read diff.
- Secure & Private: All comparison is done in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers.
- Works for Code & Text: Equally effective for comparing plain English paragraphs or snippets of programming code.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What do the different colors mean?
Text highlighted in green indicates content that was present in the "Modified Text" but not in the "Original Text". Text that is struck through and highlighted in red indicates content that was in the "Original Text" but was removed in the "Modified Text".
Is there a character limit for the comparison?
There is no hard limit, but comparing extremely large documents (hundreds of pages) may cause your browser to slow down, as the entire comparison process runs on your computer.
