Beyond Compare is a software application used by developers, system administrators, and others to compare, merge, and synchronize data. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• compare

Use simple and powerful commands to compare files and folders, focus on the differences you are interested in, and ignore those you are not interested in.

• merge

Merge changes from two versions of files or folders into a single output.

• synchronization

Synchronize your local data, FTP site, and cloud storage.

Compare folders and files

FTP sites, cloud storage, and zip files seamlessly integrate, and powerful filters allow you to only see the content you are interested in.

Access data anytime, anywhere. Once you find a specific file that interests you, Beyond Compare can intelligently choose the best way to compare and display it. Text files can be viewed and edited using syntax highlighting and comparison rules specially adjusted for documents, source code, and HTML. Data files, executable files, binary data, and images also have dedicated viewers, so you can always see changes clearly.

Merge folders and files

Beyond Compare's merge view allows you to merge changes from two versions of files or folders into a single output. Its intelligent approach allows you to quickly accept most changes while carefully checking for conflicts.

You can use Beyond Compare directly from most version control systems, providing you with the powerful comparison and merge support you need the most. The integrated source control commands can be used to check in and out files without interrupting your work.

Color coding and partial highlighting allow you to easily accept, reject, or merge changes. When merging files, you can use the built-in syntax highlighting editor to change any line in the output. By using Beyond Compare's powerful file type support and tendency to accept changes to a file, you can easily accept many changes without even needing to see them.

Synchronize location

Beyond Compare's intuitive folder synchronization interface allows you to automatically reconcile differences in data. You can efficiently update your laptop, back up your computer, or manage your website, and Beyond Compare will handle all the details. You can use the same interface to copy to and from disks, FTP servers, and zip files. Anything you don't want to be affected can be easily filtered out, and all powerful comparison techniques are available to make backups as fast or robust as possible.

You can use flexible scripting languages to automate repetitive tasks, and any script can be called from the command line, allowing you to schedule synchronization at the most convenient time.
