Frequently Asked Questions
What algorithm does this use?
The Myers diff algorithm — the same algorithm used by Git, GNU diff, and most version control systems. It finds the shortest edit script (minimum additions and deletions) to transform text A into text B.
Does it compare word-by-word or line-by-line?
Line-by-line by default, which matches how git diff works. This is most useful for code, config files, and structured documents. For prose comparison, word-level diff is more useful — toggle the mode if available.
Can I use this to compare code?
Yes — it works on any text including code. For code specifically, the line-by-line view is ideal. Note: this tool doesn't do syntax highlighting — for code review with syntax awareness, use a code-specific diff tool.
Is my data stored?
No. Both text inputs stay in your browser only.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes, though side-by-side view works better on desktop.
