User Reviews

  • hexcompare might be able to handle Diff of large files. I did a quick test with compairing two 25GB files. And hexcompare was successful. hexcompare does not claim to be able to handle Diff with large files though. But it seems that it does. hexcompare has this very nice and easy to understand visual display of the Diff result in Terminal.
  • Minimal but exactly what I need
  • Excellent tool. I was looking for an easy and intuitive way to compare two binary files, and classic hex editors weren't of any help. HexCompare came to rescue, and I got the job done under 1 minute. Thanks!
