उपयोग कैसे करें

How to use

  1. Paste one item per line into each list.
  2. Choose case handling, duplicate handling, and output order.
  3. Extract items found on exactly one side, then copy or download the result.

Line-based comparison

Each non-empty trimmed line is one item. Items are compared exactly by default; optional case-insensitive matching uses Unicode lowercase forms. Surrounding whitespace is ignored.

Choose duplicates and order

By default, each exclusive item appears once. Turn off duplicate removal to retain repetitions from their original list. Results follow first-list then second-list order or can be sorted alphabetically using the selected locale.

Local and bounded

Both lists are processed in your browser. Each input is limited to 50,000 characters and 10,000 non-empty lines.
