Compare two code snippets and see every added, removed, and changed line highlighted side-by-side online for free. Works with any programming language.
Paste the original version in the left panel and the updated version in the right panel at tools.arkaserve.com/code-diff. Added lines are highlighted green, removed lines red, and unchanged lines white — side by side. Works with Python, JavaScript, Java, HTML, CSS, SQL, YAML, JSON, and any other text-based format. Completely free with no signup.
Yes. The diff viewer works with any plain text — source code, YAML and JSON config files, SQL migration scripts, Dockerfiles, shell scripts, or any other structured text. Paste the two versions and every change is highlighted instantly. This is useful for comparing Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose files, environment configs, or GitHub Actions workflows between environments.
The tool works well with files up to a few thousand lines comfortably in the browser. For very large files (10,000+ lines), performance may be slower — compare specific functions or sections rather than the full file for faster results. Completely free with no signup and no daily limit.
