About This Tool

So, you’ve got two chunks of text and you need to see what’s different—maybe it’s code, a document revision, or just two versions of an email. Text Compare is exactly what it sounds like: a no-nonsense way to spot the differences between two pieces of text. No fluff, no login walls, no “premium features” behind a paywall. Just paste, click, and see what changed. I built this because I got tired of squinting at side-by-side docs or relying on clunky software that overcomplicates a simple job. Whether you’re debugging code, reviewing edits, or just curious about what your coworker changed in that shared note, this tool cuts through the noise.

Key Features

  • Instant comparison – No waiting. Paste your texts and see the diff right away.
  • Side-by-side view – See both versions at once with highlights showing additions, deletions, and changes.
  • Line-by-line and word-level diffs – Spot tiny tweaks, not just whole lines. Great for code or detailed edits.
  • Works in your browser – Nothing to install. Runs locally, so your text never leaves your machine.
  • Dark mode – Because staring at bright screens at 2 a.m. is already hard enough.
  • Copy or export results – Grab the diff output if you need to share it or save it.
  • Mobile-friendly – It’s not perfect on tiny screens, but it works in a pinch.

FAQ

Does this tool save my text?
Nope. Everything happens in your browser. Your text isn’t uploaded or stored anywhere. Close the tab, and it’s gone.

Can I compare files instead of pasting text?
Not directly—yet. For now, you’ll need to open the files yourself and copy the content. But if enough people ask, I might add file upload support in a future update.
