How to Compare Text

Copy the two versions into the fields above and select Compare Text. Use the arrows or the difference index to review every edit. Swap reverses the versions; Clear starts a new comparison.

What Does Text Compare Detect?

The tool checks words, punctuation, capitalization, and whitespace in the pasted text. It does not inspect fonts, colors, images, or page layout.

Compare Text Even When Paragraphs Move

Text Compare identifies unique, unchanged paragraphs that moved instead of counting them as added and deleted. It also overlooks insignificant spacing and line wrapping differences while keeping both original texts visible.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Comparison runs in your browser and your text is not uploaded or stored.

Can Text Compare detect moved paragraphs?
