What Is a Text Diff Checker?

Developers, writers, and editors frequently need to compare two versions of text — whether it's source code changes, document revisions, or configuration file updates. Manually scanning for differences is error‑prone and time‑consuming. This tool automates the comparison using the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) algorithm, highlighting added lines in green, removed lines in red, and unchanged lines in gray. With options for case‑insensitive and whitespace‑ignoring comparisons, it adapts to your specific use case.

How to Use

  1. Paste your texts — the original version in the left textarea and the modified version in the right textarea.
  2. Toggle options — ignore case, ignore whitespace, or show/hide line numbers as needed.
  3. Click "Compare" — the diff result appears instantly with color‑coded lines.
  4. Swap texts with the Swap button, copy the diff result, or clear everything with the Clear button.

Frequently Asked Questions
