Frequently Asked Questions

What is a diff checker?

A diff checker compares two versions of text and highlights what changed — what was added, removed, or kept the same. It's widely used by developers, writers, and editors to track changes between versions.

Can I compare code with this tool?

Yes. Paste any code — JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, or any other language. The diff is done line by line, making it easy to spot exactly what changed.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.

What algorithm does it use?

It uses a line-based longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm — the same fundamental approach used by Git and most version control systems.
