Clean Retype VS Diffee

Clean Retype's answer

It works in the browser with nothing to install, on Windows, Mac and phones. It catches things inspectors often miss, like white text, 1pt text, invisible characters and details stored inside pictures, because it rebuilds the document instead of cleaning it. And it’s simple: upload, download, done, with a clear list of what was removed. The checker is free, and you can clean 3 documents before paying £4.99 a month.

Most metadata tools edit your original file and try to strip out what they find, so anything they miss goes with it. Clean Retype never copies the file at all: it reads the pages the way a person would and types only the visible words into a brand-new Word document, keeping headings, lists, tables and pictures. Hidden content has no way through. You also get a report of exactly what was removed, and a free checker that runs entirely in your browser so the document is never uploaded.

Clean Retype's answer

UK professionals who send Word documents outside their organisation and can’t afford to leak what’s hidden inside them: recruiters sending CVs to clients, letting agents sending tenancy agreements, solicitors and paralegals sending drafts to the other side, HR teams and writers sending manuscripts.

Clean Retype's answer

I kept seeing documents go out with things nobody meant to send: an old author name, a comment, a deleted paragraph still sitting in tracked changes. The usual advice was to run Word’s Document Inspector and hope it caught everything. I wanted something simpler and more certain: if the new file is built only from what’s visible on the page, there’s nothing hidden to miss.
