Text Diff Checker

Paste an original and a changed version of a text to see exactly what was added, removed or edited between the two — word by word.

Your comparison will appear here.

How to use the text diff checker

Paste the original version of your text on the left and the updated version on the right, then click "Compare texts." Words that were removed from the original are shown struck through in red; words newly added in the changed version are highlighted in green. Unchanged words appear as plain text so the differences stand out immediately.

Common uses

Reviewing edits

Quickly see what an editor, collaborator or AI tool changed in a document without reading both versions line by line.

Comparing contract or policy revisions

Spot exactly which clauses were altered between two versions of an agreement or terms page.

Checking plagiarism-style rewrites

See how closely a "reworded" paragraph actually matches its source.

Tracking content changes over time

Paste an old cached version of a page against the current one to see what was updated.

Frequently asked questions

Does this compare word by word or letter by letter?

Comparisons are done word by word, which is generally more readable for prose than a character-level diff.

Is the comparison case-sensitive?

Yes, "Text" and "text" are currently treated as different words.

Is my text uploaded anywhere to run the comparison?

No. The comparison algorithm runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — neither text box is ever sent anywhere.
