Use cases
It fits work where a line diff hides the real change: configuration review, three-way conflict resolution, safe release-folder synchronization, visual inspection, API compatibility, and sensitive local data comparison.
Compare JSON, YAML, XML, and environment files while masking secrets and ignoring expected paths or ordering.
Choose sources: Open files or folders, paste content, or use Pro to load a saved profile with known options.
Read the complete use-case guideClassify OpenAPI or JSON Schema compatibility and emit CI-friendly results from batch manifests.
Select a mode: Use automatic detection or explicitly choose text, structured, folder, archive, document, image, binary, or API comparison.
Read the complete use-case guideReview and safely synchronize folder trees, inspect archives, move between PDF pages and extracted text, and measure image changes before shipping a build.
Review and resolve: Navigate stable differences, apply supported changes, resolve three-way conflicts, or approve a folder synchronization plan without losing source context.
Read the complete use-case guideInspect sensitive local files without uploading their content to a browser service or creating an account.
Save or automate: Use Pro to export a report or retain a profile, invoke the CLI, or wire the comparison into Git and CI.
