❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does a diff checker do?+
A diff checker compares two pieces of text and highlights the differences between them. Added text is shown in green, removed text in red, and unchanged text in white. This makes it easy to spot changes at a glance.
What can I use a diff checker for?+
Diff checkers are useful for comparing code versions, reviewing document edits, checking if two files are identical, proofreading text changes, and verifying that a copy/paste was done correctly.
Does it compare line by line or word by word?+
Our diff checker compares line by line by default. Lines that changed are highlighted, and within changed lines the specific added or removed words are marked.
Is the text I compare stored anywhere?+
No. All comparison happens instantly in your browser. Your text never leaves your device and is never stored on any server.
Can I compare code with the diff checker?+
Yes — paste any code into both panels. It works with any plain text including JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, JSON and more.
