}Page guide
Inspect a window of raw file bytes with hexadecimal values, absolute offsets and a readable ASCII column.
How to use Hex file viewer
- Choose the local file or files.
- Review the action and limits, then run the inspection.
- Check the result and download a separate output or report.
Useful next steps
Choose a byte window
Set the starting byte offset and window size. Offsets are absolute and start at zero.
Find a byte sequence
Optionally enter a hexadecimal sequence such as 48 65 6c 6c 6f. Search can cross read-chunk boundaries and moves to the first match.
Read without modifying
Compare the byte values and ASCII representation. Download the visible window and its metadata without changing the source.
