Line-based comparison
The tool lines up both texts and finds the longest run of lines they share, then marks every other line as added or removed. This is the same idea behind the diff view in code review tools.
Because it works line by line, a single changed word marks the whole line as changed. Split long paragraphs into sentences first if you need finer detail.
Both texts stay in your browser, so it is safe to compare private documents.
Frequently asked questions
Does it compare word by word?
No, it compares whole lines. Put each sentence on its own line for finer results.
Is my text uploaded?
No, the comparison runs on your device.
Is there a size limit?
Very long texts with thousands of lines may be slow; the tool asks you to shorten them if needed.
