FAQ

Is this online diff generator client-side (no upload)?

Yes. The diff is computed in your browser and the tool does not send your text to a server.

What’s the difference between Line mode and Word mode?

Line mode compares newline-separated lines (best for code/logs). Word mode compares words and spaces to highlight small edits inside sentences.

Can I hide unchanged lines and keep context around changes?

Yes. Enable “Hide unchanged” and set the number of context lines to keep around each change.

Does it generate a Git-style unified diff file?

It outputs a compact unified-style view with +/− prefixes for easy sharing, but it’s not a full patch format with file headers.

Why do I see “(empty line)” in the output?

That label is used to make empty lines visible in Line mode so you can spot added/removed blank lines.

What if my text is very large?

Very large inputs may hit browser limits. Switch to Line mode, hide unchanged lines, or compare smaller sections.

Can I copy the diff output?

Yes. Click “Copy Diff” to copy a plain-text unified output to your clipboard.
