Different reviews call for different diff layouts: a quick inline view, a side-by-side, or a unified block.
Online Diff offers Inline, Side by side and Unified layouts for the same line comparison.
How to use Online Diff
- Choose Inline, Side by side, or Unified before reviewing the diff output.
- Paste the original and changed text into the two panels.
- Read the differences in your chosen layout, then copy or download them.
Use cases
- Viewing edits side by side for a careful read.
- Producing a unified diff block to paste into notes.
- Skimming inline changes for a quick check.
Good to know
Online Diff compares the two texts line by line and lets you render the result three ways: inline with markers, side by side in two columns, or a unified block. The layout choice only changes presentation, not which lines are flagged. It runs entirely in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
What layouts are available?
Inline, side by side, and unified, so you can pick the view that suits the review you are doing.
Does the layout change the result?
No. The same additions and removals are detected; the layout only changes how they are displayed.
Do all three layouts use the same comparison?
Yes. Each layout presents the same whole-line alignment; only the on-screen arrangement differs.
