Good to know
Compare Text Online runs the comparison in the browser and, with Show differences only enabled, hides equal lines so the changes stand out. The line or word mode controls how the two texts are split before they are aligned. Output is rendered without uploading anything.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hide the unchanged lines?
Yes. Turn on Show differences only and equal lines are dropped from the view so just the additions and removals remain.
Does it compare by line or word?
Both. The compare-mode control lets you choose line-by-line for structure or word-by-word for fine edits.
Is my text processed online or locally?
Locally. Despite the name, the comparison happens in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
