Your text stays on this page

Everything happens in this browser tab as you type. Nothing you paste is sent to Sellstamp or anyone else, so it is safe to use with drafts, contracts or anything you would rather not upload.

Lines, words or characters

Compare by lines for code, lists and configuration; by words for prose, where a line may wrap differently; by characters to find a single changed letter or digit. Differences are marked as insertions and deletions, which screen readers announce as such.

The comparison uses the jsdiff library, and gives up after three seconds on texts too different to align, rather than freezing the page.

Questions

How do I find the difference between two texts?

Paste one into each box. Added text is highlighted green and removed text red.

Can it ignore capital letters?

Yes. Tick “Ignore case”.

Can I compare two files?

Open each file, copy its contents, and paste them into the two boxes.

Is there a size limit?

No fixed limit, but very different long texts may take more than the three seconds allowed; compare by lines or in sections.
