Frequently Asked Questions

How is the diff calculated?expand_more

We use a longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm, the same technique used by tools like Git, first at the line level, then at the word level for any lines that changed.

What’s the difference between "removed", "added" and "modified"?expand_more

A removed line only exists in the original text, an added line only exists in the changed text, and a modified line exists in both but with different words highlighted inline.

Can I compare code with this tool?expand_more

Yes, the diff checker works well for comparing code snippets, configuration files, or any plain text — it preserves whitespace and indentation by default.

Is there a limit to how much text I can compare?expand_more

Very large texts (thousands of lines on each side) make an exact diff inherently more expensive to compute. If you hit that limit you'll see a warning with an option to run the comparison anyway.
