About Directory Tree Diff & Compare

Directory Tree Diff & Compare compares two folder/file structure listings (one path per line, e.g. the output of a "tree" or "find" command) to see which files or folders were added or removed.

Useful for comparing the contents of two directories or verifying project-structure changes without uploading any files.

FAQ

What is the difference between "diff" and "compare"?

Both are done by the same tool. "Diff" highlights the lines/parts that changed (added/removed), while "compare" shows how similar the two inputs are (similarity percentage + summary). You get both at once here.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The entire comparison is computed in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on our servers — safe for sensitive data.
