Text Compare

Paste the original and the revision; only the changes are highlighted. By line, word or character.

When to use it

A counterparty sends back a contract with 'small changes'; an editor returns a draft; terms of service are updated; two versions of a config file. A changed number that is easy to miss by eye is obvious here.

Choosing the unit

Word points at the exact words that changed inside a sentence and suits contracts and prose. Line shows added and removed lines with line numbers and suits lists, code and tables. Character catches single-letter typos.

Ignore whitespace

Ignores indentation and repeated spaces introduced by pasting, so only the wording counts. Turn it off for code where indentation matters.

From PDF or Word

Open the document, copy the body text and paste it. Text from tables may arrive cell by cell. HWP is a registered trademark of Hancom Inc.; Keepdesk is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hancom.

Frequently asked

Where does my text go?

Nowhere. The comparison runs in your browser, and the last input is kept only in this browser.

How long can the text be?

Tens of thousands of characters are fine. Very long inputs fall back to line mode automatically.

It says identical text differs

Usually different line endings (Windows vs. Mac) or full-width spaces. Try 'Ignore whitespace'.
