Compare two documents
Checking revisions is a routine task: a contract after a counterparty's edits, a policy after approval, an estimate after recalculation. Upload the original and the new revision: the service extracts the text, compares it and shows what changed. Formatting is ignored — the textual edits are what matter. Files are not kept in storage after processing.
Supported: .conf, .css, .csv, .docx, .htm, .html, .ini, .js, .json, .log, .md, .pdf, .php, .py, .sh, .sql, .ts, .tsv, .txt, .xls, .xlsx, .xml, .yaml, .yml. Limit: 10000 lines for two documents. Nothing is stored — only a fingerprint of the pair stays on the server.

- PDF with a text layer, up to 100 pages
- Excel spreadsheets: XLSX and XLS, up to 5 sheets
- Text and code: TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, XML, SQL and more

Questions and answers
Which document formats are supported?
DOCX, PDF with a text layer, XLSX, XLS, and plain text formats: TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, CSS, JS, PY, SQL and others.
Is document formatting compared?
No, only the text. Fonts, indents and colours do not affect the result.
Can I compare a scanned PDF?
Not yet: a text layer is required. A scan without OCR is rejected with a clear message instead of showing an empty result.
What about the old .doc format?
Re-save the file as .docx — the legacy binary format is not supported.
Are uploaded documents stored?
No. The file is processed and discarded; only a fingerprint of the pair remains in the database.
