Beyond Compare allows you to quickly and easily compare files and folders and synchronize data automatically. The tool also allows you to merge the changes, synchronize files, and generate reports of detected differences.

Using the program, you can quickly compare the contents of an entire hard drive or selected files. Beyond Compare allows you to define the parameters to be taken into account during the scan data. The user can check files exclusively on selected parameters like modification date or size. Moreover, using filters you can define what data should be displayed in the file list. Text files can be viewed and edited with syntax highlighting and comparison rules tweaked specifically for documents, source code, and HTML. The text contents of Microsoft Word .doc and Adobe .pdf files can also be compared but not edited.
