Diff Checker
Paste two versions of any text, code or config file and see exactly what changed — line by line, with the edited words highlighted. Compare side by side or as a unified diff, all in your browser.
Original
Changed
Differences
Paste text into both panes to see what changed.
What you can do
- Spot every change. Added, removed and modified lines are counted and colour-coded.
- See what actually changed. Modified lines are compared word by word, so a single edited value stands out instead of the whole line.
- Choose your view. Side by side for reading, unified for anything that belongs in a pull request or ticket.
- Cut the noise. Collapse unchanged lines, ignore whitespace, or ignore case when reviewing reformatted files.
- Compare files. Drop a file into either pane instead of pasting.
- Share the result. Copy a unified diff or download it as
.diff.
Frequently asked questions
What can I compare?
Anything text-based — source code, JSON, CSV, configuration files, contracts, emails or plain prose. You can paste both versions or drop a file into either pane.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is sent to AgileTechForge or any third party. It keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
What is the difference between side-by-side and unified view?
Side by side puts the original and the changed version in two columns, which is easiest for reading prose and reviewing edits. Unified stacks removals and additions in one column with - and + markers, the same shape as a patch file or a pull request diff.
Why are only parts of a line highlighted?
When a line is modified rather than added or removed, the tool compares the two versions of that line and highlights only the words or characters that actually differ, so a one-word edit does not look like a whole rewritten line.
Can I ignore formatting differences?
Yes. "Ignore whitespace" treats lines that differ only in spacing or indentation as identical, and "Ignore case" makes the comparison case-insensitive. Both are useful when reviewing reformatted code.
Can I save the result?
You can copy the comparison as a unified diff or download it as a .diff file, ready to paste into a commit message, a code review or a ticket.
