Text Diff Checker

Compare two blocks of text and see exactly what changed.

Frequently asked questions

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

Line by line, using a longest-common-subsequence algorithm — the same underlying approach as git diff — so unchanged lines are matched even when other lines around them changed.

Is whitespace significant?

Yes, by default — a trailing space makes a line count as different. Turn on "ignore leading/trailing whitespace" if you only care about content changes.
