Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this tool.

Does the diff checker handle line breaks and whitespace changes?

Yes. By default, it shows line-level diffs. You can switch to "Word" mode for inline word diffs or "Character" mode for letter-by-letter comparison.

Why does the diff show the entire text as changed?

This usually means the two texts are completely different. Check that you pasted the versions in the correct order — left is old, right is new.

Can I compare text with different line endings (CRLF vs LF)?

Yes. The tool normalizes line endings before comparison. CRLF from Windows and LF from Unix/Linux are treated identically.

How are whitespace-only changes displayed?

Whitespace changes are highlighted with a yellow background by default. You can toggle "Ignore Whitespace" to skip indentation or trailing space changes.

Is there a character or file size limit for comparisons?

The input is limited to 100,000 characters per side. Files larger than that should be split into sections before comparison.
