Frequently Asked Questions
How does in-browser diff checking work?
The comparison is powered by the popular jsdiff algorithm (the same engine behind many Git and test frameworks). It computes Myers diff algorithm entirely in client-side memory.
Is my confidential code or text safe?
Yes! 100% of diff calculations happen locally inside your web browser. Zero bytes are uploaded to remote servers.
What is the difference between Word, Line, and Character diffing?
Line diffing is best for code files and scripts. Word diffing is ideal for prose and essays. Character diffing highlights exact typo fixes inside single words or hashes.
Can I ignore whitespace differences?
Yes! Check the "Ignore whitespace" box to disregard changes in indentation, tabs, or trailing spaces.
