Spreadsheet comparison · Excel and CSV

Compare two Excel or CSV files online

Pair rows by key columns, highlight every cell that differs, then edit, sync and export. Everything runs in your browser and your files are never uploaded.

What you can do

Line up rows in any order

Pair rows by key columns such as ID, by position, or by identical content, and fix any pairing by hand.

See differences at a glance

Changed cells and rows found on only one side are color-coded; click a count to show just those rows.

Stay oriented with many columns

Show only the columns that differ, put matching columns side by side, or open row details to compare one row column by column.

Edit and sync

Edit cells and copy a value, a row or the whole sheet to the other side. Every step can be undone.

Export a new file

Export to .xlsx or .csv with the encoding and delimiter you need. Your original file is not changed.

Files stay on your computer

Nothing is uploaded or stored, and everything is gone when you close the page, so it is safe for sensitive data.

Three steps

  1. 1Drop in two filesOne on each side: .xlsx, .xls or .csv, and the two do not have to be the same format.
  2. 2Choose how to match rows, then compareUse key columns if you have an ID column, otherwise match by position or by identical content.
  3. 3Review, edit, exportWhen you are done, export the side you need as a new file.

Questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Files are read and compared only in your browser; our servers never receive their contents or even their names.

How large can the files be?

Up to 50,000 rows, 200 columns and 2,000,000 cells per side, and 30 MB per file. Near those limits, a computer with 16 GB of memory is recommended.

Non-English characters look garbled in Excel. What can I do?

When the encoding cannot be detected, you are asked to choose one and see a preview. When exporting a CSV for Excel, choose “UTF-8 with BOM”.

Are formulas and formatting kept?

Comparison and export use cell values: formulas are exported as their last calculated results, and formatting, merged cells and other sheets are not kept. Your original file is never changed.
