TextDiff

TextDiff is a free tool that offers an efficient way to compare text files and folders. TextDiff has an intuitive interface and a variety of advanced features chosen to help you identify and manage the differences between documents. It's especially useful for programmers and professionals who need to analyze changes in source code files or text documents.

Compare folders

When comparing folders, TextDiff will display a list of modified files, highlighted in green for easy identification. Double-clicking on these files will provide a detailed view of the specific differences within each file, which speeds up the reviewing process. For file comparison, TextDiff uses a very fast comparison algorithm to identify all the differences. It also offers the option to ignore blank spaces and case differences when comparing files, as well as highlighting individual lines and providing a detailed analysis of all the changes.

Navigation and editing

This tool makes it easy to navigate the differences between files and merge changes bidirectionally. In addition, it offers the ability to edit text directly on the app, with text search and replace features, as well as support for multiple levels of undo/redo changes, so you can manage all the modifications you want to make more efficiently.

Unicode support and report generation

TextDiff supports Unicode text, which is useful for comparing and editing files in different languages without encoding problems. It also has the ability to generate detailed reports of the differences found between files, which is useful for documentation and further analysis.
