How to Compare Two Texts (Diff)
Updated 2026-09-06 · DocsAll Guides
Quick answer: Compare two blocks of text line by line and see exactly what was added, removed, or changed. Open 文本对比 — everything runs locally in your browser, and files never leave your device.
Steps
- Paste the old version on the left, the new version on the right.
- Review the highlighted line-level differences.
- Switch to character-level view for fine-grained changes within a line.
Important notes
- Diff runs on plain text — compare .docx or PDFs by exporting their text first.
- Big pastes with reordered paragraphs produce noisy diffs; compare section by section for clarity.
Common questions
Can I diff code with different indentation? Yes, but normalize tabs vs spaces first or every line looks changed.
Can I save the diff? Copy the result or take a screenshot for review records.
