Perforce, the company best known for its enterprise version control platform, also offers a solid diff tool: P4Merge is free of charge and comes with a basic feature set that makes it an interesting option on Windows, macOS and Linux. DeltaWalker supports Windows, macOS and Linux. If you're regularly performing comparisons on a folder basis, it's good to know that DeltaWalker shines with great performance in this area. However, it goes one step further by letting you compare file archives like ZIP, JAR, and TAR files. Much like Araxis, the DeltaWalker diff tool also lets you compare office files. The project hasn't seen many updates in recent years (though you may be able to find more recent releases through this page), but it remains a solid diff and merge tool that should satisfy basic needs. KDiff3Īnother free and open source tool answers to the name of KDiff3. It comes in standard and professional editions, and for people working on both Windows and macOS, it's good to know that a single license is valid for both platforms. It also lets you compare office documents (like MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, or ODF). Just like Beyond Compare, Araxis Merge supports more than just text and image files. The "Pro" version also includes a solid three-way merge. It goes well beyond (pun intended) diffing simple text and also allows comparing PDF, Excel and image files. The Beyond Compare team makes a fine diff tool for Windows (as well as macOS and Linux, by the way). Apart from diffing files, Meld also supports comparison of folders. It supports three-way comparing and merging and lets you edit files directly from the comparison view. Extendable: You can extend its features by adding plugins, like the WinMerge Excel plugin to compare Excel files.Being free and open source, Meld is a very popular tool on Windows (it's also available for Linux).Advanced features: Apart from these features, this software supports various advanced settings such as syntax highlighting, shell integration, archiving media in Zip files, and many others.Multilingual: WinMerge is available in multiple languages, including English, French, Dutch, German, Russian, Spanish, and more.With that option, it is also possible to create patch files to upgrade the original application. Merging: WinMerge enables the user to merge the code in a single file once the modifications are done.And it also allows the detection of possible errors contained therein. Editing: Another function of this software is that it enables the user to modify the source code of the application as they wish.It can also compare images, folders, tables, and various files. This option is helpful when comparing pieces of code from similar application. Comparing: One of the particularities of WinMerge is its ability to display 2 source codes of 2 different applications simultaneously.
