Before you choose
- This is a two-folder merge on supported local NTFS storage, not continuous synchronization or a backup service. Cloud and network folders are excluded.
- Same-name handling compares matching relative paths. Equivalent files can share one output copy; different versions are kept separately with Keep both. This is not a global duplicate finder.
- Optional recycling can leave items at source or in a recovery location when checks cannot complete. Read the actual result before assuming cleanup finished.
Try it with your own files
Try Safe Merge free with two qualifying folder merges in total and no time limit. Each merge counts once, not once per file.
A use counts when a new result is fully verified and saved with at least one file or subfolder from the inputs. Failed or cancelled work before that point does not count. Optional recycling is separate: stopping it after the result is saved does not refund the use.
Buy the full version for €2.99 once, with no subscription. Microsoft Store must confirm full access. Your selections, results and recovery information stay available; buying does not automatically start a merge.

More about Safe Merge
Features and working limits
- Build a separate result: Choose two source folders and a parent for the new result. You can edit files in the new folder without changing the originals.
- Make conflicts explicit: Keep both is the default. Other supported policies choose by modification time or size; ties keep both.
- Review before cleaning up: Check the result and Merge Summary. Recycling originals is a separate, explicitly selected option with item-level safety checks.
Local data and network use
- Source files are read and the result is generated on supported local storage.
- Originals remain by default. A selected conflict policy can leave a different, omitted variant at its source.
- Necessary recovery records are kept separately from disposable application storage. The current interface does not provide a general history or Restore screen.
- Checked local trial records in the Windows user profile track two shared merge uses and unfinished reservations. They survive ordinary uninstall/reinstall and compatible updates. Deleting or editing a result does not refund a use. This is not account-wide or cross-device tracking.
- Microsoft Store services check trial or full access, handle purchases and provide updates. Buy Safe Merge opens the Store purchase flow; a page visit or pending purchase does not confirm full access.
- Opening Support or the Store page uses those external services. The merge itself does not upload files.
System requirements
Windows 11 version 24H2 (build 26100) or later; x64; supported local fixed or removable NTFS storage outside cloud/sync and network locations.
