Features

Side-by-Side Comparison

Compare two files or text blocks side by side with synchronized scrolling. Additions are highlighted in green, deletions in red, and modifications in yellow for instant visual understanding of changes.

Syntax Highlighting

Diff with syntax highlighting for 30+ programming languages including JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C++, and more. See code changes with full language awareness.

JSON, XML & YAML Diff

Compare JSON, XML, YAML, and TOML files with format-aware diffing. Format your structured data first for cleaner, more meaningful diffs that show semantic changes rather than whitespace differences.

Character-Level Highlighting

See exactly which characters changed within modified lines. Character-level diff highlighting makes it easy to spot small changes in long lines of code or data.

Multi-Tab Workflow

Open files in tabs, then select any two tabs to compare. Switch between editing and diffing seamlessly. Great for reviewing configuration changes, API responses, or code refactors.

Large File Support

Compare large files with WebAssembly-powered performance. Handle log files, database exports, and large codebases without your browser slowing down.
