Scooter Beyond Compare

Beyond Compare unifies file, folder and archive comparison into a single interface — whether you need to compare text or binary files, images, entire directory trees, or even archives and remote/cloud folders. It supports side-by-side diff views, synchronized scrolling, inline editing, and color-coded difference highlighting. In Pro mode, Beyond Compare offers advanced features like three-way merges, folder merging, support for version control systems, built-in SFTP/FTP/Cloud integration, registry comparison on Windows, and sophisticated customization of ignore-rules and comparison filters. The tool is especially valued by developers and sysadmins for comparing code changes, merging branches, verifying backups, synchronizing project directories, and quickly spotting differences in large sets of files or folder structures.
