Frequently asked questions

How do I compare two pieces of text?

Paste the original on one side and the revised version on the other — the diff highlights what's added, removed and changed automatically.

Can I compare code with this?

Yes — it diffs any plain text, code included. Paste two versions of a snippet or config and changed lines are highlighted.

What kinds of changes does it detect?

Line-level changes: lines added, lines removed, and lines that were modified. It's the same model as a Git-style line diff.

Is the text I compare uploaded?

No — the comparison runs in your browser. Both texts stay on your device, which matters for contracts, code and other sensitive content.

Is Text Diff Checker free to use?

Yes. Text Diff Checker is completely free on GenRise, with no limits, watermarks, or hidden paywalls.

Do I need to create an account or sign up?

No. Every GenRise tool works instantly in your browser — no account, email, or sign-up required.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Text Diff Checker runs entirely on-device using your browser, so your files are never uploaded or stored anywhere. All processing happens locally.

How does Text Diff Checker work?

Text Diff Checker uses your browser's built-in capabilities — Canvas, WebAssembly, and File APIs — to process files locally. Compare two blocks of text and highlight what changed. Simply open the tool, select your file, and the result is generated instantly on your device.

Is Text Diff Checker safe and private?

Yes. Since Text Diff Checker processes everything in your browser, your files never leave your device. There is no server-side storage, no tracking of file contents, and no data collection.

Can I use Text Diff Checker on mobile?

Yes. Text Diff Checker works on any modern browser, including mobile devices. It is fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile use.
