Text Compare

It suits people who need to check exactly what changed between two versions of a text: office and legal staff reviewing a revised contract or policy, editors and writers checking that every edit was applied, translators finding which sentences changed in a new source version, developers and web admins comparing config files or CSV exports, and anyone comparing confidential text (nothing is sent anywhere).

For example: when a revised contract comes back and you need to confirm every change, before publishing a blog post or press release, when comparing two versions of meeting notes or a specification, or when looking for differences between two CSV files exported from a spreadsheet. Single-character changes that are easy to miss by eye are highlighted.

Less time spent comparing and fewer missed changes. Only the changed parts are colored, so you can step through them with “Next” instead of rereading everything. You can save the colored result as a file to show a colleague or client exactly what changed.

No. The comparison runs in your browser. A share link compresses the text into the part of the URL after the #, so nothing is stored on a server. Anyone with the link can read it, so do not share sensitive text.

Yes. Text is split into words with your browser’s word segmentation (Intl.Segmenter), so it also works for languages without spaces, like Japanese. Switch to “Character” to compare one character at a time.

It ignores the number and presence of spaces when comparing, so “New York” and “NewYork” count as the same. A final line break on only one side is not shown as a difference either.
