Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded for comparison?

No. The diff runs locally in your browser.

Does this compare character by character?

This tool compares line by line. Small edits on one line appear as a full line change.

Can I compare code or config files?

Yes. Paste two versions of JSON, YAML, env files, or scripts. Format structured files first for clearer results.

What if both panels look identical but diff shows changes?

Check trailing spaces, line endings (CRLF vs LF), or invisible Unicode characters.
