When you only care about what changed, a full side-by-side view buries the answer in unchanged text.
Difference Checker focuses on the changes, hiding equal lines, and can work by line or by word.
How to use Difference Checker
- Paste the earlier text on the left and the later text on the right.
- Choose Line or Word comparison and enable Show differences only for a changes-first view.
- Read the added and removed parts, then copy the summary.
Use cases
- Listing only the edits between two report drafts.
- Checking what changed in pasted terms before accepting.
- Reviewing the difference between two versions of a bio.
Good to know
Difference Checker emphasizes the changes: with Show differences only on, equal lines are removed and the additions and removals remain with a running count. Line and word mode change how the texts are tokenized for the comparison. Everything is processed in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
What does the difference-only view show?
With Show differences only enabled, the unchanged lines are hidden and you see just what was added and removed.
Is the comparison by line or by word?
You choose. The compare-mode control offers line-by-line for structural changes and word-by-word for small wording edits.
Are confidential drafts safe here?
Yes. The comparison runs on your device, so nothing you paste is uploaded.
