Frequently asked questions

Is my text sent to a server?
No. Diff computation runs entirely in your browser.
Does it work line by line or word by word?
The diff view highlights changes at the line level, with inline highlighting for changed portions within lines where supported.
Is there a size limit?
There is no server-side limit because processing is local. Very large texts may take longer depending on your device.
