How it works

How to use the Text Compare tool

  1. 1

    Paste both versions

    Original on the left, changed on the right.

  2. 2

    Choose how to compare

    By words for prose, by lines for code and lists.

  3. 3

    Review differences

    Added text is green, removed text is red.

Words or lines?

Word mode highlights exactly which words changed inside sentences — ideal for essays and contracts. Line mode treats each line as a unit — best for code, CSVs and lists.

Limitations

We’d rather be upfront about what this tool can’t do yet:

  • Very large texts (hundreds of thousands of words) can take a moment to compare.
