Hexplorer Reviews

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

I have used Hexplorer for a long time and I have always thought it was very good. I downloaded it on a new computer, but I do not install it before verifying the MD5 hash: 871bd6a2e202dd55ac95f2825ae1c2fb. When looking for it on the Internet I found a page on virscan.org where it warns about Backdoor/Small.iax. Could someone say if it is a threat. Greetings.

v2.6 - The font size is so small it's unusable on Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10. Don't bother downloading v2.6 until this issue is fixed.

The text is too small on windows 10 and screen resolution at 1920x1080

Made an account just to give this the lowest possible rating. Wasted over three days trying to debug an embedded system which was never broken. This software incorrectly displayed the binary files I was using. It wasn't until a colleague opened some of my binaries in a different editor. He said "you're not going to like this", because his editor correctly read the binary and revealed the system was working the whole time.

This is a GREAT hex editor! For some reason the default font is microscopic, but you can change that in VIEW > OPTIONS > Font. I REALLY LOVE the dark color themes! So much easier on the eyes! And the ability to paste clipboard data as different data types is VERY handy as well. Just one wish... to add compare functions (or maybe I haven't discovered them yet?)

Text is too small without anyway to change the size or zoom in. Really?! This whole point is TO SEE THE VALUES, making this "project", "tool", "P.O.S." an absolute failure.

best free hex editor, hope development will continue

Taking off two stars specifically for the uselessly small default font. Nearly gave up with this thing until I found that I can change to a legible font under View -> Options. Other than that, so far it's doing what I need.

Thank you for the good program

The font used by the application can be changed under menu: View -> Options... I did also have the problem with a very small font, but selecting another font solved that problem.

I can't even see the text so that I can edit it... It looks like 2pt font, and there's no way for me to make it larger or smaller.

Yes, it's a good program, and useful. I appreciate that it knows what Intel Hex files are, which apparently HxD does not. But I can't figure out how to "un-highlight" bytes that were highlighted via "Crypto>Byte occurence". The highlighting persists, even after closing the program down and re-opening it. Somewhat maddening. Also, there seems to be very little support now (2014).

Good and useful software

great software! :)

It is a fast and functional tool. Thank you!

I have used Hexplorer for years and love it. Every machine I build gets this put on it. I use it in conjunction with Notepad++ when editing files; it rocks for peering inside files, doing hex Search-and-Replace operations (especially when working with end-of-line characters) and using the copy-as-hex feature to allow copy/pasting of sections that contain null characters. One feature I'd improve - when doing a massive SAR operation, perhaps of thousands of characters, I'd rather that the Ctrl-Z Undo feature undid them as a group, rather than one at a time...
