Compare Features

View Next/Prev Difference

Navigate quickly between compare differences by clicking on the "go to next difference" and "go to previous difference". This feature will prove to be indispensible in your daily use of text compare.

Merge Differences with the Merge Toolbar

The powerful merge options allow you to merge selected content before or after the current block, accept all/merge all changes, and even perform line/word level merges.

Relational Lines Mode

A powerful visual effect to help you see, at a glance, where your corresponding difference blocks are located in each file compare pane. Relational lines can be toggled on/off in the view menu.

Inspect Differences in the Active Line Compare Frame

For lines that extend beyond the view frame, use the active line compare frame to isolate lines and clearly see the character differences. You will find this feature especially useful for comparing long lines. You can also use the additional frames to edit the text inline then merge your changes.

Save/Execute File Compare Profile

UltraCompare offers user profiles which allow you to set options such as paths, output options, ignore options, etc and execute them when needed. Use this time saving feature for your frequent text file or folder compare operations to enhance the ease of use offered by UltraCompare.

Quickly Compare Copied/Pasted Text - Text Snippets

Compare text snippets - Now you can copy/paste snippets of text to two empty compare fields and perform compare/merge operations. You can also save your changes with the "Save As..." dialog and use the clear button to clear the snippets (the temp file is deleted).

UltraEdit/UEStudio Integration

UltraCompare works hand in hand with UltraEdit and UEStudio . Easily jump into UltraEdit/UEStudio for modifications and back to UltraCompare for further text compares with the click of a button.

Show File in Browser

Open your files in the default application with a click of a button. This is a convenient feature when you need to preview your compare and merge changes before saving the files.

Visually compare HTML code! Display your HTML files as they would appear in the web browser, instead of just HTML code.

Easily Switch Compare Views

Toggle easily between comparison view types (all, different, matching) by clicking on the All, Just Differences, and Just Matching icons.

Comparison View Pane

The compare pane denotes differences using the light blue shading. You may customize the colors that UltraCompare uses to distinguish differences. Individual character differences are also displayed with user-definable colors. The active line is highlighed as a separate color to distinguish the line you have selected. UltraCompare can also be configured to wrap long lines in the view pane.

Differences Map - Graphical Navigation

The differences map on the left of the compare frame displays a visual representation of differences within the text compare or file compare. Quickly navigate to compare differences in the file by clicking in the area you want to view.

Change Compare Modes

Switch between all compare types: text compare, binary compare, and folder compare - from the main toolbar.

Tile Preference

View comparison results tiled either horizontally or vertically depending on your preference.

Display Type

Choose the display type you would like the file to be viewed as. Choose between ANSI, Unicode, Mac, and more... Note: this does not convert the file, only the format in which it is displayed.
