The record

Purpose: Document Delta compares two DOCX files and returns one document with differences highlighted using Word's native tracked changes.
Workflow: The service uses three steps—upload, compare, and download—and requires no signup.
Comparison scope: Its engine analyzes paragraphs, tables, headers, footers, text boxes, content controls, and characters.
Precision: It detects changes at the run and character level, including insertions, deletions, and formatting changes.
Word revisions: Output uses Word's built-in tracked-changes markup, which can be accepted, rejected, or commented on in Microsoft Word.
Formatting: The tool tracks bold, italic, underline, font, and style changes even when text is identical.
Structured content: It compares content controls, text boxes, images, comments, hyperlinks, footnotes, endnotes, and tables.
Performance: The comparison engine is optimized for large documents and says lengthy contracts and legal agreements are compared in seconds.
Privacy: Files are processed entirely in memory, never saved, stored, or shared, and are discarded when comparison completes.
API: The REST API compares two Word documents with a single HTTP request and requires no SDK or API key.
API languages: The site provides examples for C#/.NET, Python, JavaScript, PowerShell, and Java, and says the API works from any language.
API file limit: Each original and modified DOCX file sent to the API has a maximum size of 500 KB.
API rate limit: The public API allows 10 requests per hour per IP address.
Beta status: The free comparison tool is in beta and actively improving, and the site invites users to report issues or unexpected results.
