Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded?

No. The diff runs locally with a classic LCS algorithm — nothing leaves your browser.

Is this a word diff or a line diff?

Line diff. Two lines either match exactly or they don't. Identical leading whitespace counts as a match; trailing whitespace counts as a difference.

How long can the inputs be?

Up to about 5,000 lines per side. The LCS algorithm is O(n·m), so giant inputs slow down quadratically.
