Compare two versions of plain text and inspect additions and removals. Line mode works well for lists or configuration changes, while word mode helps locate edits inside a paragraph.
How to use this tool
- Paste the earlier version into Original and the later version into Modified.
- Choose Lines or Words.
- Read the highlighted diff together with both source panes.
How to interpret the result
Differences are textual rather than semantic. Whitespace, line endings and moved content can affect the display. This does not compare Word formatting, PDF layout or document metadata. Large inputs may take longer because comparison runs on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does it merge the versions?
