How Simple Diff Works

Simple Diff is a professional text and code difference checker designed to instantly highlight modifications, insertions, or deletions between two versions of documents, source code, or files.

Precise Text Comparison

Compare any text by lines, words, or characters. Perfect for reviewing PDF contracts, legal drafts, essays, articles, and clause modifications with real-time color highlights.

Source Code Comparison

An essential utility for developers comparing code in JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, SQL, and JSON. Inspect diffs side-by-side (split view) or unified with precise line numbers.

PDF & Visual Page Comparison

Compare PDF documents both by extracted text content and by visual page rendering using a curtain slider to spot subtle layout, font, or diagram revisions.

Local processing and privacy

Simple Diff compares content in your browser. Technical requests load the application and its resources; documents are not uploaded for comparison.

Why use our online text and code diff checker?

Whether you are a software engineer inspecting Git revisions, a reviewer verifying versions of a contract in Word or PDF, or validating JSON payloads, Simple Diff provides in-memory local computing powered by the Myers Diff algorithm. Enjoy real-time similarity metrics, addition/deletion counters, and one-click patch exports.
