How it works

Paste your original resume in the Version A box and the updated version in Version B, hit Compare, and the tool renders a word-level diff entirely in your browser. It uses react-diff-viewer with the WORDS comparison method, so individual changed words are highlighted rather than just whole lines.

A header above the diff counts the additions and removals by comparing the two versions line by line. A toggle switches between split view (the two versions in side-by-side columns) and inline view (changes interleaved in one column), so you can scan for structural shifts or read the rewritten narrative depending on what you are checking.

This is the same diff view RolePatch shows after its AI rewrites your resume against a job description. There, Version A is your original and Version B is the AI-tailored result — you review every word-level change before accepting.

Frequently asked questions

How does the resume diff work?

You paste an original version and an updated version into two textareas and hit Compare. The tool renders a word-level diff using react-diff-viewer with the WORDS comparison method, highlighting every added and removed word. A header counts the additions and removals by comparing line by line.

Can I see the diff side by side or inline?

Yes. A toggle button switches between split view (Version A and Version B in two columns) and inline view (additions and removals interleaved in a single column). The default is split view.

Is my resume text uploaded anywhere?

No. Both versions stay in your browser. The diff is computed client-side — there is no upload, no account, and no server call.

How is this different from the diff in the full RolePatch app?

This standalone tool compares two texts you paste yourself. In the full app, RolePatch scrapes a job description, rewrites your resume with AI, and shows you the same word-level diff against your original so you can review every change before accepting it.

What format should I paste?

Plain text or markdown works best — the diff is line and word based, so paste the text of your resume rather than a rendered PDF. Markdown bullets and headings diff cleanly because the structure is visible as text.
