Compare two texts and see what's different. Great for spotting changes!
Find Differences Between Texts Instantly
Easily compare two blocks of text and highlight the differences with our free online Text Comparison Tool (also known as a Diff Tool). Paste your original and modified text, click compare, and instantly see what has been added, deleted, or changed. Ideal for writers, editors, developers, and anyone needing to track revisions.
Why Compare Text?
- Proofreading & Editing: Quickly spot changes between drafts of an article, essay, or document.
- Version Control: See modifications made to code snippets, configuration files, or reports.
- Checking Plagiarism: Identify similarities between texts to check for copied content (though specialized plagiarism checkers are more robust).
- Contract & Document Review: Ensure no unintended changes were made between versions of legal documents or agreements.
- Collaboration: Easily review edits made by colleagues or collaborators.
- Learning & Study: Compare your notes against source material or different versions of study guides.
How Our Diff Tool Works:
Our tool uses the well-established Diff Match Patch algorithm to efficiently find the differences between two texts. It offers two powerful comparison modes:
Character-by-Character Comparison
This mode highlights precise changes at the character level:
- Additions: Text present in the second box but not the first (typically shown in green).
- Deletions: Text present in the first box but not the second (typically shown in red with strikethrough).
- Unchanged Text: Text that is identical in both boxes.
Line-by-Line Comparison
This mode is ideal for structured content like code or lists, showing differences by line:
- Identical Lines: Lines that match exactly in both texts.
- Added Lines: Lines present in the second text but missing from the first.
- Removed Lines: Lines present in the first text but missing from the second.
- Modified Lines: Lines present in both texts but with differences.
Cara Menggunakan:
- Select your preferred comparison mode (Character-by-Character or Line-by-Line).
- Paste the first version of your text (e.g., the original) into the left text box.
- Paste the second version of your text (e.g., the modified version) into the right text box.
- Click the 'Compare Texts' button.
- Review the highlighted differences in your chosen format.
