Spot every change

Comparing documents by eye misses things. This checker uses a proper longest-common-subsequence comparison (the method behind tools like Git), so an inserted line shows as one addition rather than shifting everything after it into “changed”.

Changed lines are paired up and the exact words that differ are highlighted. Ignore case or extra spaces to focus on real changes, show only the lines that changed, and see a similarity score.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare two texts for differences?

Paste one version in each box. Differences appear below immediately — removed lines in red, added lines in green, with changed words highlighted.

Can it ignore spaces and capital letters?

Yes. Turn on Ignore extra spaces or Ignore upper/lower case.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser.

What does the similarity percentage mean?

It's the share of lines that are unchanged compared with the total, giving a quick sense of how different the versions are.
