About diffing

A diff shows what changed between two texts. This tool uses the classic longest-common-subsequence algorithm to find the smallest set of added and removed lines that turns the original into the changed version — the same idea behind git diff.

Added lines are shown in green, removed lines in red, and unchanged lines in grey. Everything is computed in your browser, so even sensitive text never leaves your device.
