WinMerge is a tabbed, visual file differencing and merging tool. It's primary use is determining changes between two text files, but includes tools for folder, image, and 3-way comparison. It comes with a built-in editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, word-wrap, synchronized scrolling, and handles a variety of file formats.
An unofficial plugin (xdocdiff) is available to enable comparison functions for the text of Word, Excel, PDF, LibreOffice, RTF, and other file formats.
WinMerge Portable is a portable version of WinMerge from PortableApps. Alternatively, an outdated X-WinMerge is also available.

64bit version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge/files/alpha/2.15.2/ can be used to replace 32 bit folder in PortableApps.com version. So far no problems with it. Renamed original file, just in case.

PAFUser: For a better experience, use WinMerge 2011 Portable. WinMerge 2011 is a continuation fork of WinMerge that is regularly updated. Our portable package includes the 32-bit and 64-bit versions and switches between them. |

It does appear to be stealth? When I first ran it, it created a 'appData/Roaming/Diffinity/diffinity.cfg' file, but if you copy that file to the portable location, delete the appdata folder and run Diffinity again, the cfg file isn't created. |

This is a very useful program, but I prefer to use online services. If you are interested, then here is an online analog https://papersowl.com/free-plagiarism-checker With this, you can check the uniqueness of the text in the document or on any web page. But in Bible Analyzer, the functionality is much wider. I recommend making a choice according to your needs. |
Text Compare is a simple tool for comparing text files (ini, txt, html, xml) and marking differences by color. Includes drag-and-drop support, filtering, view of new, moved and copied lines and different comparison methods (just show new and changed or moved and copied).

The website link for this one gives a 404 error, and the download link gives an error message saying a password is required.
