What is the difference between line diff and word diff?

Line diff compares text line by line and highlights entire changed lines. Word diff provides a more granular comparison by highlighting individual word changes.

Can I compare code snippets?

Yes. The diff tool works with any text, including code. Paste both versions and the tool will highlight the differences.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. All comparison happens locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored.

What do the colors mean?

Green highlights show text that was added in the modified version. Red highlights with strikethrough show text that was removed from the original.
