Frequently asked questions
What diff algorithm does this use?
A standard longest-common-subsequence (LCS) line diff, the same approach used by many command-line diff tools.
Can I compare whole files?
Yes — paste the full contents of both files; very large files may be slower since diffing runs in your browser.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free on FreeToolsNets, with no sign-up and no limits.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript — nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the widget is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktops.
