When someone sends you a revised document, you need to know exactly what changed. Microsoft Word has a built-in Compare feature, but it requires desktop Word, buries the output in a confusing markup view, and doesn't give you a clear summary of what happened.

ChangeChecks offers a simpler approach: upload two .docx files and get a clean, readable comparison in seconds.

How it works

Upload your original .docx file on the left
Upload the revised .docx file on the right
Click "Compare documents"

ChangeChecks extracts the text from both documents and highlights every difference — words that were added, removed, or changed. The summary bar at the top tells you how many changes were made and how similar the documents still are.

What you'll see

The results page shows your comparison in two views:

The merged view reads like Track Changes in Word — removed text is shown in coral with a strikethrough, added text in sage with an underline. You can read through the document naturally and spot every edit.

The side-by-side view puts the original on the left and the revised version on the right, with changed sections highlighted. This is useful when you want to compare specific paragraphs directly.

When to use this

This is especially useful when you receive a "final" contract, proposal, or agreement that's been through several rounds of revision. Rather than trusting that only the agreed changes were made, you can verify every word.

It's also helpful for writers comparing manuscript drafts, HR teams reviewing policy updates, or anyone who needs to track revisions across document versions.

Your documents stay private. ChangeChecks extracts text and runs the comparison entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded to any server. You can verify this by opening your browser's Network tab while running a comparison.
