What it does

Diff files and compare is a browser-based file comparison tool for checking what changed between two versions of a file. It’s built for anyone who needs clear, side-by-side change review across common document, data, design, and engineering formats—without creating an account.

Upload a “Before” file and an “After” file, and the tool generates a diff so you can review differences between the two versions. You can start immediately by dragging and dropping files into the Before/After slots or by browsing to select them.

Diff files and compare supports comparing many file types, including XLSX, PDF, PNG, STEP, DOCX, JSON, SVG, DXF, and L5X. This makes it useful for teams and individuals who review revisions across spreadsheets, documents, images, vector graphics, CAD/3D model files, and structured data.

Once a comparison is created, you can share the diff via the built-in Share option, making it easier to circulate revision checks with colleagues or stakeholders.

Practical outcomes include faster version review, fewer missed edits, and clearer communication about what changed between two file revisions—especially when files aren’t simple text documents.

No login is required to use the tool, so you can quickly compare files on demand and move on with your workflow without setup overhead.

Supported formats shown include: XLSX, PDF, PNG, STEP, DOCX, JSON, SVG, DXF, L5X, and more (as indicated). It also offers sample files you can pick to get started right away without uploading your own files first (from the sample picker at the top).

Use cases include revision review, file change verification, and sharing comparisons for approval or troubleshooting across mixed file formats in a single, simple workflow: upload two files → view the diff → share if needed (optional).

Diff files and compare is part of Kord and is accessible directly in the browser at /diff, with a minimal interface focused on fast comparisons and sharing when required—no account creation step involved.
