Our verdict on BinEd

BinEd is a free, open-source binary and hexadecimal viewer and editor from the ExBin Project. It is designed for users who work with binary data across development, debugging, reverse engineering, and forensic workflows. The editor displays hexadecimal, binary, octal, or decimal codes alongside text, with Unicode and multiple charset support. Insert and overwrite modes, search with match highlighting, undo and redo, bookmarks, configurable views, macros, file comparison, and an add-on manager cover the core editing workflow.

Its broad ecosystem fit is a central strength. BinEd is available through web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android coverage, and it integrates with IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, Eclipse, JDeveloper, BlueJ, jEdit, Autopsy, and Ghidra. The published feature set also includes binary comparison, scripting, and plugin support. That combination makes BinEd relevant to developers who want a hex editor inside familiar Java development environments, as well as users working with forensic or reverse-engineering tools.

BinEd’s scope is practical rather than specialized around advanced disk or binary-structure workflows. Its verified capabilities emphasize data views, text handling, editing modes, search, repeatable macros, comparison, and extensions, while structure templates and disk editing are not part of the verified feature set. Choose BinEd if free, open-source availability, multiple platforms, and integrations matter most. Users who need dedicated structure-aware analysis or disk-focused editing should choose a product centered on those workflows instead.

How long have you used it?

I've used BinEd myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
