Frequently Asked Questions

What types of content can I compare?

Any plain text — source code, JSON, XML, Markdown, configuration files, prose, and more. If it's text, you can diff it.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The comparison happens entirely in your browser. Your content is never uploaded or stored anywhere.

Can I use this to compare code from two Git branches?

Yes. Just paste the content from each version into the two input panels and the diff will be highlighted instantly.
