Download TortoiseSVN for Windows PC v1.14.9 for Windows PC
TortoiseSVN is the best-known Apache Subversion client for Windows, integrating version control directly into File Explorer instead of a separate application.
Technical Specifications & System Requirements
Software notes
Features
- The full Subversion workflow — checkout, commit, update, merge, branch, tag, blame and rollback — lives in the Explorer right-click menu, so version control never interrupts the file work you are already doing.
- Icon overlays show the status of every file and folder at a glance, and the Check for Modifications dialog gathers all pending changes across a working copy into one reviewable list.
- TortoiseMerge provides a capable built-in diff and merge editor with syntax highlighting, and the log dialog draws a revision graph that makes branch history understandable.
- It is entirely free and open source with no licence tiers, accounts or telemetry, and it remains actively maintained against current Subversion libraries.
- Per-project settings, commit templates, issue-tracker integration hooks and client-side hook scripts let teams enforce conventions without server-side administration.
Considerations
- It only serves Apache Subversion repositories, so it offers nothing to the Git-based projects that now make up most new development work.
- The Explorer shell extension adds entries to every context menu plus a background cache process, which users on minimal systems may find intrusive.
- The settings dialog exposes dozens of advanced options with little guidance, and concepts such as merging and conflict resolution still demand real SVN knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions & Verification Guide
Is TortoiseSVN free?
Yes, completely. TortoiseSVN is open-source software released under the GNU GPL, free for personal and commercial use with no paid editions or feature tiers.
What is the difference between TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit?
They are sibling projects with the same Explorer-integrated design, but TortoiseSVN works with Apache Subversion (SVN) repositories while TortoiseGit works with Git repositories. Install the one that matches your project's server.
Does TortoiseSVN include Subversion itself?
The installer includes the SVN client libraries TortoiseSVN needs, so you can work with repositories immediately. Optional command-line tools can be selected during setup if you also want svn.exe in your terminal.
Which Windows versions does TortoiseSVN support?
The current 1.14.x releases support Windows 10 and Windows 11 in 64-bit, 32-bit and ARM64 builds. Older Windows versions are served by earlier TortoiseSVN releases kept on the download page.
Can TortoiseSVN show who changed a line of code?
Yes. The Blame command annotates each line with its revision, author and date, and the log dialog shows the full history, revision graph and changed-path list for any file or folder.
