How to use Text Diff

Text Diff compares two blocks of text and highlights exactly what changed between them — additions, deletions, and unchanged lines — directly in your browser. Paste your original text on the left and the modified version on the right to see a clear, color-coded comparison.

Switch between line-by-line and word-by-word diff modes depending on what you're comparing. Line mode is ideal for code, config files, and logs where whole lines change. Word mode is better for prose, documentation, and copy edits where you want to see individual word changes within a paragraph.

Key features: line and word diff modes, color-coded additions and deletions, addition/deletion counts in the status bar, and instant comparison as you type.

A text diff tool is essential for code review, comparing API responses, spotting unintended changes in configuration, and proofreading document revisions. Because everything runs locally in your browser, you can safely compare sensitive files, contracts, or proprietary code — your text is never uploaded, stored, or logged.

FAQ

How do I compare two texts?
Paste your first text into the left panel and the second into the right panel. DevFmt instantly highlights additions in green and deletions in red, with a summary of how many lines or words changed.
What's the difference between line and word diff?
Line mode compares whole lines at a time — best for code and config files. Word mode compares individual words within the text — best for prose and documentation where small edits happen mid-sentence.
Is this tool good for comparing code?
Yes. Line-by-line mode is designed for source code, JSON, logs, and configuration files where you need to spot exactly which lines were added, removed, or modified.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. The comparison runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Neither text is ever sent to a server, so you can safely diff sensitive or proprietary content.
