Hex Editor GNOME

About This Tool

This hex editor provides byte-level editing for binary files. It loads a binary image and presents synchronized hex and ASCII representations, enabling precise modification of data at specified offsets. Users can insert or delete bytes, or replace individual bytes, and all edits are tracked for undo/redo.
Conceptually, the tool treats the file as a continuous byte stream; hex view shows two-digit values per byte; ASCII view shows printable characters; edits modify the underlying stream. Offsets anchor changes, and exported files reflect the updated byte sequence.
Who benefits: software engineers patch firmware, digital forensics analysts examine artifacts, data-recovery specialists reconstruct corrupted files. Unique value: deterministic, reversible edits with full export and backup options, plus support for patch scripts and endianness-aware viewing.
Core features include file load/save, in-place byte editing, optional insert/delete, search/replace, undo/redo, and patch import/export. The tool is designed for reliability with integrity checks and clear change logs.
