Extract What's New

The Find Added Text tool is a specialized extractor designed to answer one question: "What is new in this file?". Instead of showing you a complex view of deletions and changes, it purely extracts the Added Content. This makes it the perfect tool for comparing lists, finding new log entries, or identifying new subscribers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Find Added Text tool?

The Find Added Text tool is a free online utility that compares two versions of a document and extracts ONLY the new content. It filters out everything from the original version, leaving you with a clean list of added lines or words.

How is this different from a normal diff checker?

A normal diff checker shows you both what was added and what was removed, often with a lot of visual noise. This tool is a 'Filter'—it gives you a clean list of just the new items, ready to copy.

Can I use it to compare email lists?

Yes! Paste your old subscriber list on the left and your new list on the right. The tool will output exactly which emails are new.

What output formats are available?

You can view the result as a simple 'Raw' text block, a bulleted 'List' (perfect for reports), or a 'JSON' array (perfect for programming).

Does it work with code?

Yes. If you want to know which functions or variables were added to a file, just paste the versions here and select 'Lines' mode.

Can I ignore empty lines?

Yes, by default the 'No Empty' filter is on, so if you added mostly blank space, it won't clutter your results.

Is my data private?

100%. Processing happens locally in your browser. We never see your files.

Can I find added words inside a paragraph?

Yes! Switch the mode from 'Lines' to 'Words'. It will extract every individual new word found in the text.
