What is Filehex?

Filehex is a lightweight yet full-featured Windows hex editor that enables users to view and edit the hexadecimal (hex) code and data in files. As a hex editor, it displays the raw data that makes up a file rather than the usual interpretation of that data.

With Filehex, users can scroll through the hex contents of any file byte-by-byte or follow it along with the ASCII/text interpretation on the side. It supports all file types including executables, object files, libraries, bitmap images, MP3s, office documents, and more.

Some key features include:

• Fast and responsive interface for quickly parsing large files
• Multiple tabs to open many files at once
• Go to specific offset or address
• Basic data editing tools like find/replace and insert/remove bytes
• Preview images, text, code, and other data
• Bookmark interesting offsets
• Supports very large files (2 GB+)
• Save edited changes
• Completely portable app with no install required

With its clean UI and thoughtful feature set, Filehex focuses specifically on hex editing in a lightweight application. It serves as a fast and capable free alternative to heavy-duty paid hex editors.
