Features

Every capability of Compares-Text in one place — 12 comparison tools plus AI analysis, all free.

Core Comparison Tools

📄 Text Compare

Line-by-line diff with word-level and character-level highlighting. Runs entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.

🖼️ Image Compare

Pixel-level visual diff for PNG, JPG and WebP. Ideal for UI testing, design review and spotting subtle changes.

📑 PDF / DOCX / XML / JSON

Extracts full text — including tables, headers and footers — with OCR fallback for scanned PDFs. Pretty-prints JSON for readable diffs.

📊 Excel & CSV

Separate header and data comparison. Detects changed cells, added/removed rows and column header changes across sheets.

🗂️ Folder / ZIP

Compares entire directory trees. Finds added, removed and modified files, with per-file diffs on demand.

Developer & Technical Tools

👨‍💻 Code Compare

Git-style diff for 12+ languages (Java, Python, JS, TypeScript, PHP, C#, C++, SQL, Go, Ruby, Rust, Shell) with ignore-comments and ignore-whitespace options.

🗄️ Database Schema

Compares SQL schemas across MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Oracle. Highlights added/removed tables, column, index and foreign-key changes.

🔌 API Response

Diffs two REST or GraphQL responses — body, headers, status codes and response times side by side.

📋 Log Files

Compares application, server and nginx logs. Surfaces new errors, new warnings and resolved issues with pattern detection.

🌐 Website Compare

Diffs two live URLs — HTML, CSS, SEO tags and metadata. Perfect for migrations, staging-vs-production checks and audits.

Intelligence & Usability

🤖 AI-Powered Analysis

Optional AI summary of tone shifts, semantic changes and spelling issues — going beyond simple line diffs.
