Portable HxD

Portable HxD is a lightweight cross-platform utility that helps users edit hexadecimal code and disks, while bundling some other useful tools, such as a checksum generator, file shredder and splitter.

Since this is the portable version of the program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to edit hexadecimal code on the breeze.

Portable HxD gives users the possibility to work with multiple tabs and add a new file to the list by simply dragging and dropping it into the main window, or using the built-in browse function.

By default, the application highlights in red the hex changes made to the files and allows you to perform basic operations, namely cut, copy, or paste, as well as embed bytes in hexadecimal, decimal or octal mode and select the filling pattern (hex values or random bytes).

You can compare two files and analyze the differences between them, view statistics, generate checksums by selecting an algorithm, and perform search and replace operation by applying filters (data type, Unicode string, case sensitive, prompt on replace, search direction).

You can open the main memory of a running process, shred items, activate automatic backups, and open a disk or disk image.

When it comes to exporting options, you can export data to Pascal, C, C#, Java, Visual Basic .NET, editor view, HTML, RTF, TeX, 16-bit, 20-bit and 32-bit Intel hex, as well as to Motorola S19, S28 and S37 records.

All things considered, Portable HxD offers a clean working environment and useful features for helping you edit hex code with ease. Thanks to its intuitive layout, it is suitable for beginners and experts alike.
