TextDiff

TextDiff is a free tool that allows you to compare text files and folders efficiently. TextDiff offers an intuitive interface and a variety of advanced features that make it easy to identify and manage differences between documents. It is especially useful for programmers and professionals who need to analyze changes in source code files or text documents.

Folder comparison

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 review process. For file comparison, TextDiff uses a very fast comparison algorithm to identify differences efficiently. It also has the option to ignore blank spaces and case differences during the comparison operation, as well as highlighting within individual lines, providing a detailed analysis of the changes.

Navigation and editing

The tool facilitates navigation between differences and allows bidirectional merging of changes in an easy way. In addition, it offers the ability to edit text directly in the app, with text search and replace functions and support for multiple levels of undo/redo changes, which improves efficiency in managing modifications.

Unicode support and reporting

TextDiff supports Unicode text files, ensuring that you can compare and edit 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.
