CompareMerge2
CompareMerge2 gives you file and folder comparison and merging tools when you need to review code changes, reconcile file versions, or inspect differences in documents and archives.
by Tien Thinh Vu
What you get
See what changed between files and merge the differences you need.
You can find out exactly where two versions differ without checking every line yourself. CompareMerge2 lets you compare files or entire folder trees, then edit and merge text in the same window. You can focus on changed sections, ignore line-ending differences, and lock either side against accidental edits.
Your comparisons can extend beyond plain text: inspect spreadsheets and documents, compare the contents of two ZIP archives without unpacking them, or merge binary files directly. When checking folders, you can compare by size, date, or full contents and filter out files that are irrelevant to your review.
You can also compare two items from your clipboard history, turn comparison results into patch files, and export reports as text, CSV, or HTML. That gives you a record of the differences to review or share.
-
Focus on actual changes
You can show only changed text sections and ignore line-ending differences to reduce distractions during review.
-
Merge with fewer accidental edits
You can edit while comparing and lock either side to protect it from unintended changes.
-
Inspect archives without unpacking
You can compare files and folders inside two ZIP archives without extracting them first.
-
Check whole folder trees
You can identify differences across nested folders and filter the files included in your comparison.
-
Keep a comparison record
You can export difference reports or generate patch files from your comparison results.
Best for
- You review and merge source-code changes
- You need to reconcile two folder versions
- You compare document versions or ZIP contents
Skip it if
You probably do not need it if you rarely compare file versions and only want to open or organize files.
