Word Document Compare guide 2026
Read two DOCX or text files and find added, removed, and unchanged lines. The workspace appears as soon as the page opens, requires no account, and processes the source in the current browser.
Common tasks
- Compare added and removed clauses in two contract versions
- Review wording changes between proposal drafts
- Check whether a DOCX revision omitted a paragraph
- Create a portable text difference report
How the result is produced
Provide the requested values, text, image, spreadsheet, or document; choose the relevant options; then run the operation. Review the structured preview before copying or downloading the result.
Result checks and practical limits
- Supports DOCX, TXT, Markdown, and HTML files
- Can ignore trailing spaces and letter case
- Marks added and removed lines with a diff algorithm
- Provides a two-column preview and downloadable report
The tool compares extracted text. It does not read tracked-change metadata or compare fonts, images, headers, footers, and complex layout. Convert legacy DOC files to DOCX first.
