The YouTube History Merger tool bleow combines multiple `watch-history.html` files from different Google accounts into a single unified timeline. This is useful when you have multiple YouTube accounts (personal, work, legacy accounts) and want to analyze your complete viewing history across all accounts. The tool processes files of any size (tested up to 35MB+) and automatically removes exact duplicate entries that occur within 10 seconds of each other, while preserving legitimate re-watches of the same video at different times. To use the merger, simply drag and drop or select multiple `watch-history.html` files from your various Google Takeout exports. The tool will parse each file, extract all watch entries with their timestamps, sort them chronologically (newest first), remove duplicates, and generate a single merged watch-history.html file that maintains the exact same format as the original exports. This merged file can then be used with the YouTube History Parser above to analyze your complete viewing history across all accounts. The merger displays statistics showing total entries processed, unique entries retained, duplicates removed, and the date range of your combined history.
