What is WinHex?
WinHex is a hexadecimal editor for examining the bytes in files and storage devices. It combines low-level editing with search and replace, file comparison, a data interpreter and templates for working with structured data. These tools suit binary inspection and disk-analysis tasks where a conventional text editor does not show the underlying values.
The publisher also lists disk imaging, file-system interpretation and data recovery capabilities, but availability depends on the license type. WinHex is commercial software with an evaluation version, not an unrestricted free editor. Personal licenses are restricted to non-commercial use outside business, institutional and government environments; professional licenses permit use in those environments.
