User Reviews

  • Turn on word wrapping. Then it is perfect! An improvement over linux diff and Windiff. Nice color highlighting of paragraph where difference occurs and what the differences are.
  • WinMerge is a must have tool, and one of the best projects on SourceForge
  • Invaluable tool for comparing directory structures quickly and efficiently.
  • Good app!
  • WinMerge is absolutely indispensible – not only for developers. If you are just a regular computer user and realize that your colleagues have created several copies of a file (or even a whole folder), WinMerge helps you quickly find the differences (if any).
