Binary to Hex Editor

Binary to Hex Editor is a lightweight and portable tool that gives you the possibility to open files and examine them directly via hexadecimal display, as well as make save modifications and save them to file. It features a couple of advanced options that can be tackled with ease.

Portable tool with a simple GUI

The entire application's wrapped in a single executable file that you can save in a custom location on the hard disk or copy to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly run Binary to Hex Editor on any machine without any installers. It doesn't need DLLs to run, add new entries to the Windows registry, or create files on the disk without asking for permission.

Open binary files to edit hex code

The interface is outdated but user-friendly. It consists of a basic window with a plain and simple structure, where you can resort to the file browser to open any binary file as hex, regardless of its format.
It's possible to edit hex code, undo your actions, cut, copy, paste and delete text, as well as save the hex as a binary file or plain text document. There are no other notable options available here.

Evaluation and conclusion

Although it hasn't received updates for a very long time, it worked smoothly on newer Windows models in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages. As we expected, it didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the machine, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.
Too bad that Binary to Hex Editor hasn't been updated for a while, and its set of features is a little light. Nevertheless, it facilitates a user-friendly workspace for opening binary files to edit hex code.
