That doesn't help when the file is a binary and nobody has written a tool to merge it. How do you merge a picture?

You're not replying to me, but I imagine you'd decode both images to an uncompressed format and diff them visually, optionally with a way to highlight pixels that differ between the two.

Binary file types that you can't view in some way would be challenging.

JPEG doesn't really have pixels though, and with some modern formats it gets even worse. For netlists it's hopeless.
