Beyond Compare allows you to quickly and easily compare your files and folders. By using simple, powerful commands you can focus on the differences you're interested in and ignore those you're not. You can then merge the changes, synchronize your files, and generate reports for your records.

How is this better than FreeFileSync? Which is free.
It's a different product. While BC can also do the same, it's a 2/3 way merge tool for software development.

I bought this on sale in the past after all the rave reviews
For comparing files I still go to Winmerge or even Visual studio code. Which cost nothing.
How do you use VS Code for this when it’s just a code editor?
Not sure about op but I do it like this:
right click on a file then click Select for Compare and then right click on a second file and then click Compare with Selected.
Thanks! Correct me if I am wrong but this VS Code approach is used to compare differences in files with code right?

@ilovefullprice: Well it will do a character/text based comparison on files it can open.
But VS has a lot of extensitons.. ie a quick google gives this for images ( an plenty of other results too): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=paulheg.…
I'm sure there are over 323232 extensions can perform that task
Ih wow. This takes me back. I used Beyond Compare heaps when aI was doing Delphi development 15-20 years ago. I probably still have a license key somewhere.
It was a great tool. I was thinking the other day that I hadn’t found a better diff/merge tool. I’m going to check this out.
Haha, Delphi dev, Beyond Compare, 20 years ago … snap! I've been a BC fan ever since. I use it all the time. Great for comparing directories, any sort of text files, even Excel.
