- Side-by-side and Git-style unified views

- Local file loading for common source formats
Common uses
- Reviewing script and source-file versions
- Finding a regression during debugging

Frequently asked questions
Does ComparLab execute my code?+
No. Source code is treated strictly as text and never executed.
Can I upload source files?+
Yes. Common source extensions are read locally, and the language selector follows a recognized extension.
Can I hide unchanged lines?+
Yes. Enable Hide unchanged to focus the result on additions and removals.
More comparison tools are coming
PDF, Word, Excel, and image comparison are planned for a future release. They are not part of this version, and there are no inactive buttons pretending otherwise.
