Line-By-Line And Char-By-Char Diff-Viewer

By using the possiblities of a graphical color display KDiff3 shows exactly what the difference is. When you have to do many code-reviews, you will like this.

See White-Space Differences At One Glance

Spaces and tabs that differ appear visibly. When lines differ only in the amount of white space this can be seen at one look in the summary column on the left side. (No more worries when people change the indentation.)

Triple-Diff

Analyze three files and see where they differ.

The left/middle/right windows are named A/B/C and have the blue/green/magenta color respectively.

If one file is the same and one file is different on a line then the color shows which file is different. The red color means that both other files are different.

Comfortable Merge Of Two Or Three Input Files

KDiff3 can be used to merge two or three input files and automatically merges as much as possible. The result is presented in an editable window where most conflicts can be solved with a single mouseclick: Select the buttons A/B/C from the button-bar to select the source that should be used. You can also select more than one source. Since this output window is an editor even conflicts which need further corrections can be solved here without requiring another tool.
