FAQ

How does the comparison work?

The tool computes a longest-common-subsequence diff over lines — the same family of algorithm used by version control systems like Git — and shows the minimal set of added and removed lines.

What counts as a “changed” line?

When a removed line is directly followed by an added line, the pair is counted as one changed line — an edit in place rather than separate deletion and addition.

Does it compare characters within a line?

This tool compares whole lines, which keeps results fast and easy to read. A line with any change shows as removed + added.

Is there a size limit?

Texts of up to about 1,500 differing lines get an exact minimal diff. Beyond that, the differing middle section is shown as one replaced block so the page stays fast.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser; neither text leaves your device.
