ExamDiff Pro Screenshots

The Compare dialog lets you quickly and easily choose the files, directories, or clipboard contents to compare.

This is the file comparison window of ExamDiff Pro.

This is the directory comparison window of ExamDiff Pro.

If you're a programmer or web developer comparing source files, syntax highlighting makes it easy to identify different aspects of code.

ExamDiff Pro has full Unicode support, and can properly compare files in a variety of different languages.

Quickly share diff reports with your colleagues by using ExamDiff Pro's HTML diff report export features. You can even add basic navigation controls!

If you prefer paper diff reports, not to worry - ExamDiff Pro lets you print and print preview diff reports as well.

In three-way diff and merge, three files are compared - a base file and two revision files ('yours' and 'theirs') that are both modifications of the base - and the goal is to reconcile the changes made in the revision files into an output file..

Two-way merge is useful for reconciling changes in a version control system that doesn't provide the base file, or when you need to reconcile the differences between two separate files..

ExamDiff Pro fully supports binary file comparison. This is an example of what the comparison window looks like for binary files.

You can enable ExamDiff Pro's Shell integration, so that the options shown appear in the context menu in Windows Explorer.

This expanded Compare dialog shows ExamDiff Pro's sessions page.

If the files you compare have lines too long to fit in the window, you can enable Word Wrapping to quickly see the complete lines.

ExamDiff Pro has robust support for plug-ins, and this window shows the parameters you can assign to plug-ins. See our plug-in database for example plug-ins that can do everything from comparing ZIP files to fetching files and directories from remote servers.

No comparison algorithm is perfect, but ExamDiff Pro lets you use manual synchronization to link lines together yourself if the need arises.

ExamDiff Pro can be run from the command line, and this screenshot shows some of ExamDiff Pro's command line options.

If you don't want to compare the same large directories multiple times, you can create directory snapshots from within ExamDiff Pro: XML schematic files that can be compared as though they were directories. This screenshot shows how a directory snapshot file is organized.
