Q Frequently Asked Questions

How does the diff work?
It uses a Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) algorithm to identify added, removed, and unchanged lines.
Is there a character-level diff?
Currently it compares line-by-line. Character-level comparison may be added in the future.
Are large files supported?
Yes, but very large files (over 10,000 lines) may be slow due to the O(n×m) LCS algorithm.
Can I use Diff Checker on mobile devices?
Yes. Diff Checker works in modern mobile browsers, so you can run it on Android and iPhone without installing an app.
Is free diff checker online safe for private files or text?
This tool runs in your browser for processing tasks. Review the on-page privacy note for this tool and avoid sharing sensitive data on public devices.
