Free diff tool

Compare two files

Drop two revisions of a file and see what changed - in the browser, free, no account. Eleven formats, each with a sample pair preloaded so you can see how the comparison reads before handing it your own files.

Pick your format

Each guide covers what the comparison shows for that format, how the alternatives stack up, and the honest fine print - size limits, what happens to your files, when another tool is the better answer.

From an AI agent or a script

The same comparison is one HTTP call away, with no account. POST the two files and hand the returned link to whoever asked - it renders the diff for anyone who opens it, for seven days.

curl -F before=@bom-v1.xlsx -F after=@bom-v2.xlsx \

The JSON response carries a url. Files over about 4 MB together go through an upload step first; that, the size cap and the expiry are in Kord's OpenAPI document.

Why a diff tool is free

We build Kord - version control for engineering document sets, where these same comparisons run between revisions of every file in a package, with review sessions and an audit trail around them. A diff you can try in ten seconds, on a sample BOM or your own files, explains that better than we can. If the two files you keep comparing are part of a bigger set that has to stay consistent, start with Git for documents.
