HxD is a carefully designed and fast hex editor which, additionally to raw disk editing and modifying of main memory (RAM), handles files of any size.
The easy to use interface offers features such as searching and replacing, exporting, checksums/digests, insertion of byte patterns, a file shredder, concatenation or splitting of files, statistics and much more.
Editing works like in a text editor with a focus on a simple and task-oriented operation, as such functions were streamlined to hide differences that are purely technical.
For example, drives and memory are presented similar to a file and are shown as a whole, in contrast to a sector/region-limited view that cuts off data which potentially belongs together. Drives and memory can be edited the same way as a regular file including support for undo. In addition memory-sections define a foldable region and inaccessible sections are hidden by default.
Furthermore a lot of effort was put into making operations fast and efficient, instead of forcing you to use specialized functions for technical reasons or arbitrarily limiting file sizes. This includes a responsive interface and progress indicators for lengthy operations.
Features
Available as a portable and installable edition
RAM-Editor
To edit the main memory
Memory sections are tagged with data-folds
Disk-Editor (Hard disks, floppy disks, ZIP-disks, USB flash drives, CDs, ...)
RAW reading and writing of disks and drives
for Win9x, WinNT and higher
Instant opening regardless of file-size
Up to 8EB; opening and editing is very fast
Liberal but safe file sharing with other programs
Flexible and fast searching/replacing for several data types
Data types: text (including Unicode), hex-values, integers and floats
Search direction: Forward, Backwards, All (starting from the beginning)
File compare (simple)
View data in Ansi, DOS, EBCDIC and Macintosh character sets
Checksum-Generator: Checksum, CRCs, Custom CRC, SHA-1, SHA-512, MD5, ...
Exporting of data to several formats
Source code (Pascal, C, Java, C#, VB.NET)
Formatted output (plain text, HTML, Richtext, TeX)
Hex files (Intel HEX, Motorola S-record)
Insertion of byte patterns
File tools
File shredder for safe file deletion
Splitting or concatenating of files
Basic data analysis (statistics)
Graphical representation of the byte/character distribution
Helps to identify the data type of a selection
Byte grouping
1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bytes packed together into one column
"Hex only" or "text only"-modes
Progress-window for lengthy operations
Shows the remaining time
Button to cancel
Modified data is highlighted
Unlimited undo
"Find updates..."-function
Easy to use and modern interface
Goto address
Printing
Overwrite or insert mode
Cut, copy, paste insert, paste write
Clipboard support for other hex editors
Visual Studio/Visual C++, WinHex, HexWorkshop, RegEdit, ...
Bookmarks
Ctrl+Shift+Number (0-9) sets a bookmark
Ctrl+Number (0-9) goes to a bookmark
Navigating to nibbles with Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right
Flicker free display and fast drawing
