About Compare Text: Diff Checker
Text compare & diff checker. Paste two texts, see exactly what changed
Compare Text - Diff Checker is a fast, private way to see exactly
what changed between two pieces of text. Paste your original text
on the left, your changed text on the right, and get an instant
word- or line-level diff, side-by-side or inline - no upload, no
account, no page access.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Zero access to your browsing - no content scripts, no host
permissions. It cannot read your open tabs or any page. Every
byte of comparison happens locally, inside the popup, using a
self-contained diff algorithm. The text you paste never leaves
your browser. This extension collects no data of any kind - no
analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. The only network traffic
it ever makes is a purchase-verification check with ExtensionPay
if you choose to upgrade.
FREE, AND GENUINELY USEFUL
- Paste any two texts and get a clean, highlighted diff -
additions and removals are color-coded and easy to scan.
- Choose line-level or word-level granularity depending on what
you are comparing (a paragraph of prose vs. a line of config).
- Side-by-side view for a classic two-column comparison, or
unified/inline view for a compact git-diff-style stream.
- Ignore-case and ignore-whitespace toggles for when formatting
differences do not matter.
- Copy a quick, readable text rendering of the diff with one
click.
- Large pastes are handled gracefully - the popup will not
freeze, and you will see a clear notice if an input had to be
truncated or a diff had to be simplified for performance.
- Your view mode, granularity, toggles, and theme (light/dark/
system) are remembered between sessions.
PREMIUM ($5 one-time)
For anyone who compares text regularly:
- Character-level refinement: see exactly which characters
changed within a line or word, not just that the whole line
changed.
- Export a real unified diff (.patch) file content - the same
format produced by git diff or diff -u - ready to hand to a
patch tool or paste into a code review.
- Saved diff history: name and save comparisons locally so you
can revisit them later, without re-pasting both sides.
No subscription, no account required - pay once, keep the
features.
Check a contract redline, compare two drafts, spot what changed in
a config file. This is one popup that shows you the difference,
without ever asking to see what else is on your screen.
