What does 'diff' mean?
'Diff' is short for difference. In computing, a diff shows the changes between two versions of a file — specifically what was added, removed or modified.
Does it compare word by word or character by character?
This tool compares line by line and word by word, highlighting the specific words that changed within each line.
Can I compare code with this tool?
Yes — paste any code into both text boxes and the tool will highlight exactly which lines or characters differ.
Is there a character or word limit?
There is no hard limit. The tool can compare long documents, but very large texts may take slightly longer to process.
