Binary Viewer

Binary Viewer is a straightforward piece of software that enables users to view file content in binary mode. It includes a nifty set of options for all types of users.

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure, you are welcomed by a comfortable working environment, where files can be dragged and dropped into the main frame or opened via the file browser for viewing.

Note that the tool does not include options for editing binary code. As the name implies, it is solely designed for viewing purposes.

You can find out hexadecimal values and their addresses, along with equivalent Big/Little Endian and ASCII values. It is also possible to view file information, such as date of creation, last access and modification, size, company, last user who saved it, revision number, subject, and so on.

Binary Viewer permits printing features and the use of a search function for text within files or file content (ASCII, Unicode, Big/Small Endian Unicode, or UTF8), hexadecimal sequence or binary pattern. Other options enable users to open physical drives, set bookmarks, copy text, jump to a certain offset, change the viewing mode, and format font properties. They are also provided with quick access to Windows Calculator and character map, along with color customization options.

The lightweight application does not hog system resources, since it requires a very low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. It is very responsive to commands and performs smoothly, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. When it comes down to it, Binary Viewer is definitely a resourceful application for experienced software users.
