FAQs

How do I use the Text Compare tool?

Open the page, paste content into “Text one” and “Text two,” then click Compare to see differences highlighted; use Sample to try a demo or Reset to clear both panes.

Can I use Text Compare for code files?

Yes. The tool is described as suitable for code as well as documents, highlighting changes, additions, and deletions that help with quick code reviews.

Is my text safe when using Text Compare?

General diff tools process pasted text in-browser or via secure connections; for highly sensitive content, many services advise using offline options. GoogieHost’s page presents a paste-and-compare workflow without account creation, aligning with typical quick-use privacy expectations for such tools. If handling confidential data, consider redacting or using an offline diff.

Can I compare large documents?

It supports pasting two texts for instant comparison; performance and limits depend on the browser and page constraints. Diff tools generally handle common-length documents well, but extremely large files may be slower or exceed page limits.

Does the tool support case-sensitive comparison?

The interface exposes Compare, Sample, and Reset; no explicit toggle for case sensitivity is shown in page snapshots or text. Treat comparisons as straightforward character/line diffs; if case-specific behavior is critical, verify results with a known test or a configurable diff tool.

Do I need to download any software to use Text Compare?

No. It runs in the browser as part of GoogieHost’s online tools—no installation or signup required.
