❓ FAQ

Common text comparison questions answered

How accurate is the text comparison?+

Our tool uses the Myers diff algorithm — the same algorithm used by Git and other version control systems. It's considered the gold standard for text comparison and is extremely accurate at finding insertions, deletions, and modifications.

Are my texts stored on your servers?

No — all processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your texts never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents.

What file formats can I compare?

You can paste text directly or upload .txt, .html, .css, .js, .json, .xml, .csv, and .md files. For Word documents or PDFs, you'll need to copy-paste the content.

Can I compare large files?

Yes — the tool supports up to 1 million characters per text. For larger files, we recommend splitting them into sections or using our desktop app (coming soon).

What's the difference between line-level and character-level diff?

Line-level diff shows which lines changed, while character-level diff highlights exactly which characters within a line were added, removed, or modified. Our tool does both automatically.

Can I ignore case sensitivity?

Yes — toggle the "Ignore case" option to treat "Hello" and "hello" as the same. You can also ignore whitespace differences and line break variations.

How do I export my comparison results?

You can copy the diff as HTML (preserving colors), as plain text, or as a unified diff format (like Git output). Use the export buttons below the results panel.

Is there an API for developers?

Yes — we offer a REST API for programmatic text comparison. Contact our sales team for API documentation and pricing based on your volume.
