Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using the Text Compare diff checker. This FAQ covers privacy, language support, power-user tips, and troubleshooting guidance for our online text comparison workspace.

01What is Text Compare?

+

Text Compare is an in-browser diff workspace that lets you paste or type two versions of text side by side and instantly highlight what changed. It powers the rest of the tool suite as the default landing experience.

02How do I generate a diff?

+

Enter or paste your original text on the left, the updated text on the right, then press the Compare button (or use Cmd/Ctrl + Enter). The result view will show additions, removals, and replacements with line numbers for quick scanning.

03Does the app store or upload my content?

+

No. Every comparison runs entirely inside your browser. We never upload, log, or persist the text you provide, so you can safely diff sensitive snippets.

04Can I ignore casing or whitespace differences?

+

Yes. In the editor view you can toggle options to ignore case and whitespace. Enable them before you compare to collapse those types of changes from the result.

05Which languages and formats are supported?

+

The diff view works with any plain text. For code, you can pick from popular languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, Rust, HTML, CSS, JSON, YAML, Markdown, and more to get syntax-aware highlights.

06Can I diff very large documents?

+

The tool is optimized for quick comparisons and can comfortably handle thousands of lines. Extremely large files may load slower, so we recommend trimming logs or splitting documents if you run into browser memory limits.

07Where can I find other utilities?

+

You can explore additional helpers like JSON formatter, regex tester, hash generator, and more from the tools hub.

Visit the Text Compare tools directory to browse the full catalog.

08How can I request a feature or report an issue?

+

We are actively expanding the roadmap and will publish an in-app feedback form soon. Keep an eye on the updates banner in Text Compare for announcements.
