You can employ it to analyze big log files, patch ROM files for emulators, repair disk structures, validate data or search for game cheats. Features of HxD include efficient handling of huge files, fast and flexible search & replace, file comparison, checksum & hash generation, exporting to several formats (source code, formatted output like HTML, hex files for EEPROM programming), a file shredder, a file splitter/joiner, and graphical statistics.
What's new in this version: Version 1.7.7 is a bug fixing release.

"Hex Editor was easy to download and install"
Version: HxD Hex Editor 1.7.7
Pros
I was able to repair 2 hard drives that were invalid.
Cons
I'm new at editing hard drive code and was'nt shure what to do, but after a few internet searches I found some instruction on what lines to edit.
Its a good program I need more study perhaps (Hex Editing for Dummies) -

Pros

Cons
Lack of help file makes hex-editing a tough game for beginners
Summary
An excellent product, does exactly what it's built for... not a resource hog.

"Did exactly what I wanted it to do"
Version: HxD Hex Editor 1.7.7
Pros
Reduced a binary file's size by allowing me to edit off spurious characters. Resulting .exe then installed because its file size properly matched the size that it expected as an installer.
Cons
Nada, zilch, zippo

"LIFESAVER! or at least CRAZYSAVING!"
Version: HxD Hex Editor 1.7.7
Pros
Everything about it?
Cons
Honestly, I can't think of one!
Summary
This program saves me from losing my mind on a regular basis. I think it's the best thing I've gotten for my computer... well, ever.
I write a blog and I'm long winded, so when I hit post and get an error followed by hitting back on my browser only to find the masterpiece I just spent an hour on has vanished, I kinda lose it.
A couple months ago, I decided that I was going to find a way to get my work back come hell or high water! And yes, I know there are plug-ins or whatever that will save your writing, but they don't save the stuff you lost BEFORE you installed it. After hours and hours searching online for a solution, I found this baby! I've used her many a time since, and every time I remember I have this amazing program it stops me mid-freakout! Then I smile, and find what I lost, copy & paste into word, quick find & replace for the misc. characters, and I'm done! Problem solved. It's simply genious! -

"Excellent Editor"
Version: HxD Hex Editor 1.7.7
Pros
Instant opening - even large files
Explorer context menu integration
Warning for changing file size on by default
Backup files created by defaultCons
Would like to have a hex calculator and/or a decimal-to-hex converter
Summary
I've used HexEdit for years, and never had a complaint. Had a problem getting it to work in 64bit Win7, so I went looking for something different. Now I wish I'd gone looking a long time ago - HexEdit (finally got it working) takes 10 seconds to load even a small file - up to 13 seconds for a large file (1GB). HxD Hex Editor loads even the large file literally in the blink of an eye. And HxD creates backup files by default, where in HexEdit that option has to be turned on if you want it. I still use HexEdit for its built-in hex calculator, but HxD is now my primary editor.

"Amazing product with no known defects"
Version: HxD Hex Editor 1.7.7
Pros
very readable disply; allows editing; can open huge files; very user-friendly interface; there are too many good qualities to explain them all here
Cons
absolutely none found so far
Summary
This is a terrific product !!!!! It is spectacular (using CNet's term for five stars)!!!
For many, many years I used a DOS product named "List" because it was quick and could handle large files. Now I have a product that is much better and much easier to use. Any now I can edit them also!

Updated on Mar 31, 2011How can this product be rated at only four stars? I am thinking that five is not enough. This product deserves a six-star rating. I wrote my original review before I discovered the file compare feature. It is very slick and easy to use. Best of all, it remembers the directory even when you close the product. Not only that, when you leave it open, it remembers both directories. I have two projects I am trying to keep in sync. HxD is making my much easier.
