Developed in Java, Java Hex Editor is a simple-to-use application that enables you to directly edit files via hexadecimal display, regardless of their format. It features advanced options for experienced users.

As long as you have Java installed on your computer, you don't need to set up anything else. You can copy the downloaded file to a custom location on the disk or place it on a USB flash drive and just double-click it to launch the tool on any machine with Java. It doesn't add new entries to the Windows registry or create additional files on the HDD without asking for your permission.

Java Hex Editor is wrapped in a simple and intuitive interface made of a normal window with a minimal design, where you can resort to the built-in file browser to locate and open a file.

Its hex code is immediately displayed in the main window, and can check out the current offset and value in the status bar, as well as make changes just like using a regular text editor.

It's possible to make a selection to copy strings to the Clipboard, delete or trim values, undo and redo your actions, select a particular block in decimal or hexadecimal mode, jump to a specific location (dec or hex), as well as find and replace strings of characters while ignoring the case.

String selections can be extracted and saved to file. Moreover, you can customize font settings when it comes to the name, style and size. Settings can be restored to default. Apart from the fact that you can consult a help manual, there are no other notable options.

To sum it up, Java Hex Editor comes packed with approachable and practical options for editing hex code, and it can be easily handled.
