About WinHex
WinHex is a hexadecimal editor for inspecting and editing files, disks, and other low-level data. It supports a wide range of storage formats and file systems, and includes tools for analyzing and comparing files, searching and replacing data, and interpreting structured data. These capabilities make it relevant to computer forensics, data recovery, and technical work where byte-level inspection is needed. The product can create drive images and backups, clone disks, recover deleted files or lost data, and work with RAID and dynamic-disk structures. It also includes scripting, checksums and hashes, encryption, and secure wiping functions. WinHex can access memory and data in other processes, so its more advanced capabilities require care and appropriate authorization. Features vary by license type. Users should create backups before editing disk contents, since low-level changes can make data inaccessible.
