Audience
File comparison for businesses wanting to compare text, code, PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images online for free, or fully offline on the desktop app.
About Diffchecker
Diffchecker is a file and document comparison tool for text, code, PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoints, images, and folders.
Diffchecker's free online tool is built for collaboration. It runs in any browser with no sign-up and lets users save diffs online, share them by link, and leave line-by-line comments.
Diffchecker Desktop is built for confidential work and is the stronger choice for compliance-sensitive workflows. It runs fully offline on Windows, Mac, and Linux, so files never leave the device. That makes it a private, secure choice for redlining legal contracts and other confidential documents.
Diffchecker shows precise changes down to the word and character, with professional legal redlining, PDF and Word export, OCR for scanned documents, and pixel-by-pixel image differences. The Legal plan adds iManage integration, and the Enterprise plan adds SAML single sign-on and SCIM provisioning. Plans start free, with Pro+Desktop from $15 per user per month.

XLSX
Workbook Audit scans your file for the problems Excel never warns you about: broken formulas pointing at deleted cells, sheets someone hid three years ago, links to files nobody can find anymore, numbers stored as text that quietly break your totals.
You get the exact cell address for every issue. No hunting through a 400-row sheet to find the one formula that's wrong.
The scan runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, never stored, never sent anywhere. Open the network tab and watch: zero requests. That's not a privacy policy, it's how the tool is built.
Scanning is free and unlimited. No account, no email, no upload cap. Pro is $9 a month and does the tedious part for you: unhide every hidden sheet at once, strip out every external link, convert text-back-to-numbers in bulk, and export the whole report.
Works with .xls, .xlsx, and .xlsm. One-click fixes are .xlsx and .xlsm

Diffract
Diffract is a purpose-built desktop diff tool that handles far more than plain text. A single app compares text, binary (hex view), images, PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, ZIP/tar archives, and Git commits - all in a multi-tab interface. On top of the standard Myers diff, it offers Patience and Histogram algorithms per comparison, AST-based semantic diff that understands code structure (not just line changes), and automatic moved-block detection. It also runs fully headless as a CLI tool for use in CI pipelines. Licensing is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and validation happens entirely offline.
