What does a file comparison tool do?
A file comparison tool helps you determine whether two files are the same or different. It can compare metadata such as size and type, and it can also compare the actual file contents to detect exact or partial differences.
How this tool compares files
This browser-based comparison tool checks file names, sizes, MIME types, SHA-256 hashes, and raw binary content. For text files, it can also show line-by-line differences so you can see which parts changed.
This is useful for verifying backup copies, checking duplicate downloads, comparing exported files, or validating whether two versions of a document are truly the same.
Private browser-based comparison
Your files stay in your browser while comparison runs locally. No upload is required, which makes this tool useful for private local checks of documents, code files, exports, archives, and other supported files.
