Compared to the standard text editors with Hex editors you are getting much more features and you will be able to both look and change the binary data of any file that you have. Certainly one of the best applications in this segment is the WinHex and what we need to immediately say is that it is mainly designed for users that have more experience. It requires higher level of knowledge because you will be able to use only executable and control codes which are for most users complicated.
Data from the files are displayed by the usage of the two digit numbers and everything here is based on the hexadecimal system where we have the usage of 16 digits which provides digits from A to F and 0 to 9.

The application supports Checksums from 8 bits to 64 bits, CRC16, CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, RipeMD-128, RipeMD-160, MD4 and ed2k hash types.
User interface is well organized and offers all the features easily accessible with only one or two clicks. All the data that you need about an digit will be displayed and you will have an immediate access to it.
