What is a Text Diff Checker?
A Text Diff Checker (also called text comparison tool or diff tool) compares two text documents and highlights the differences between them. It shows which lines were added, removed, or modified, making it easy to track changes in code, documents, or any text content.
How to Use the Text Diff Checker
- Paste your original text in the left text area
- Paste the modified text in the right text area
- The tool automatically compares and highlights differences
- Green highlights show added lines
- Red highlights show removed lines
- Switch between side-by-side and unified view modes
- Copy the diff output or swap texts as needed
