Free Online Text Compare Tool
The Digital Tool Services Text Compare tool helps compare two text versions and identify matching, added and removed lines. Paste the original text into the first editor and the modified version into the second editor to review differences side by side.
The comparison tool also provides a similarity percentage, line statistics, word count changes and character count differences. Optional settings can ignore capitalization, repeated whitespace and blank lines.
What Is a Text Compare Tool?
A text compare tool analyzes two versions of textual content to identify similarities and differences. It can help locate added lines, removed content and unchanged sections without manually reading both versions line by line.
How to Compare Two Texts Online
Enter the original content in the first editor and the revised content in the second editor. The tool compares both versions and displays aligned results. Removed lines are highlighted separately from added lines, while matching content remains unchanged.
Compare Text Side by Side
Side-by-side comparison makes it easier to review two versions at the same time. Corresponding lines are shown in parallel columns so changes can be identified without repeatedly switching between documents.
Ignore Case Differences
The Ignore Case option treats uppercase and lowercase variations as equivalent. For example, Text and text can be considered equal when this setting is enabled.
Ignore Extra Spaces
Repeated spaces can create differences even when visible wording is otherwise identical. The Ignore Extra Spaces option normalizes repeated whitespace before comparing each line.
Text Similarity Percentage
A similarity score provides a quick estimate of how much content matches between the two versions. A higher percentage indicates that more compared lines are shared, while a lower score indicates more structural differences.
Text Comparison for Writers and Editors
Writers and editors can compare drafts, revisions and edited versions to identify wording changes and removed sections. This can make review workflows faster when documents contain many lines.
Text Comparison for Developers
Developers can compare plain-text configuration values, logs, snippets and other textual data. For source code repositories and complex programming workflows, dedicated version-control diff tools remain more appropriate.
How This Text Difference Checker Works
