About Text Compare

Text Compare highlights exactly what changed between two pieces of text, line by line — added lines in green, removed lines in red, and unchanged lines left plain. It's useful for reviewing edits to an essay or article, comparing two drafts of a cover letter, or spotting changes between versions of any document. Everything runs locally in your browser as you type; neither text is ever sent to a server.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste the original text

    Put the starting version in the Original box on the left.

  2. 2

    Paste the modified text

    Put the updated version in the Modified box on the right — the comparison updates instantly.

  3. 3

    Review the differences

    Added lines are highlighted green, removed lines red, and unchanged lines stay plain. Use Swap to flip which side is which, or Copy diff to grab a plain-text summary.

What it does

FAQ

Does this compare word-by-word or line-by-line?

Line-by-line. If a single line has a small change (like one word edited), that whole line shows as one removed line and one added line rather than highlighting just the changed word.

Is there a size limit?

Very large inputs (extremely long documents compared against each other) are capped to keep the browser responsive — you'll see a clear message if a comparison is too large, with a suggestion to compare smaller sections.

Does this tool send my text anywhere?

No. The comparison runs entirely locally in your browser. Neither text is uploaded, logged, or stored.
