Text Diff
Paste two pieces of text or code and highlight the differences word-, line-, or character-by-character. Great for comparing ChatGPT vs Claude output, or diffing two content drafts.
Differences
When to use this
- Compare AI outputs: paste output from two models (ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini) and see where they differ — which one is more concise, which adds extra fluff.
- Diff content drafts: v1 vs v2 of an article, see what an editor changed.
- Simple code diff: short code snippets — verify a bug fix or refactor.
- Verify translations: paste original + back-translation, spot meaning loss.
3 diff modes
- By word (default): best for prose and natural language.
- By line: like
git diff— for code or config files. - By character: maximum detail — catches typos and punctuation changes.
Who this is for
Developers using ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini daily, AI engineers building RAG/agents, anyone paying LLM API and wanting quick metrics.
