Supported input behavior

Apply accepts a .xdelta file or a ZIP containing one, plus the original source file. The suggested Apply output preserves the source extension. Create compares the original and modified files and always saves a .xdelta patch.

Local file processing and privacy

Selected file contents are processed locally for patching and are not uploaded. The site may send coarse GA4 operational events such as mode, outcome, size bucket, extension category, locale, duration, ZIP use, and engine version. Filenames, file contents, local paths, output names, and detailed error text are not sent.

Quick start

  1. Choose Apply or Create.
  2. Select the required source and patch or modified file.
  3. Review the output name, run the operation, then save or discard the result.
