Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text data secure?
Absolutely. This tool runs entirely client-side using JavaScript. No data is ever transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere.
What formats does it support?
You can compare any plain text content, including source code (PHP, JS, Python), configuration files, and standard text documents.
Can it compare Word or PDF files?
Currently, you need to copy the text from those files and paste it here. We are working on direct file upload support.
Does it detect moved lines?
The current version focuses on additions and deletions. Moved lines will show as a deletion in one place and an addition in another.
Is there a size limit?
The only limit is your browser's memory. Most standard documents and code files will compare almost instantly.
