Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is my text sent to a server?

No. All diffing is performed in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never transmitted.

Q: What diff algorithm is used?

The tool uses a Myers diff algorithm, the same algorithm used in tools like Git.

Q: Can it compare code files?

Yes. Paste any text including code, and the diff will highlight changes. Syntax highlighting is not provided.

Q: Is there a text length limit?

No hard limit, but very long texts (over 100,000 characters) may slow down the browser's rendering.

Q: Can I download the diff result?

You can copy the result from the diff panel. A download option may be available depending on the version.
