Why developers choose ArcPanel

Side-by-side view

Syntax highlighting

Code diffs are syntax-highlighted for JSON, JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and dozens of other languages.

48 more tools included

JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, JWT decode, hash generator, and 44 other tools. All in one extension.

Frequently asked questions

How does the diffing work?

ArcPanel uses a line-by-line diff algorithm similar to Git's built-in diff. It compares the two texts, identifies insertions, deletions, and modifications, then renders them with color-coded highlights — all locally in your browser.

Can I compare files?

Yes. You can paste text directly or drag and drop files into each pane. ArcPanel will read the file contents locally and run the diff — nothing is uploaded to any server.

Does it handle large texts?

Yes. The diff engine is optimized for performance and can handle files with thousands of lines without freezing your browser. Everything stays fast and responsive.

Can I copy the diff?

Yes. You can copy the unified diff output or either side individually. ArcPanel also supports exporting the diff in standard unified diff format for use with Git or patch tools.
