Basic Editing:

• Cut, Copy, Paste, Insert, Fill and Delete Hex
• ASCII, DOS, EBCDIC, Macintosh, Window, Unicode or custom character set filters
• Multilevel Undo and Redo
• Drag and Drop files onto Hex Workshop for quick editing
• Highlight hex and text sequences using Color Maps
• View modified bytes in user defined colors
• Select by offset/length or Select All
• Paste Special (any format on the clipboard)
• Insert File a file or replace selection with the contexts of a file
• Save a selection as a new file
• Select "Hex Edit" from Windows Right-Click Context Menu to view and edit files
• Context sensitive help
• View character distributions of a document or selection
• Copy document or selection as: C Source Array, Java Source Array, Hex String, HTML, RTF, Text, Base64 or UUEncoding
• View offsets and lengths in hex or decimal
• Integration with 3rd party applications
• User customizable keyboard shortcut key sequences for common operations

Highly Customizable GUI:

• Hex values can be grouped by 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bytes
• Specify the bytes per line (1-128) or let Hex Workshop fit to window size
• User-definable font and character mapping
• Specify significant digits for floating point/double presentation
• Enable/Disable warnings and notification messages
• Workbook mode allows ability to switch between open documents quickly
• User-definable colors for the offset area, odd hex columns, even hex column, separators and text area
• Integrated color and border rectangle tagging for integration tools: Structure Viewer, Bookmarks, Data Inspector, Compare Results, Find Results and Color Maps

Find:

• Search using Hex Strings
• Search using Text Strings (ASCII, Unicode or either; match or ignore case)
• Search using Bitmasks
• Search using 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit or 64 bit signed/unsigned values (Big Endian, Little Endian or either)
• Search using floating point values (Big Endian, Little Endian or either)
• Search using double precision floating point values (Big Endian, Little Endian or either)
• Find All instances or instance by instance
• Search from top down or bottom up
• Find all strings within a document (ASCII, Uncode or Either)
• Find next or previous matching selection
• Find next or previous not matching selection

Replace:

• Find and replace by Hex Strings, Text, Strings or values
• Pad text strings with nulls if the replacement string is shorter than the original string
• Replace All instances or instance by instance
• Replace from top down or bottom up

Disk/Drive Sector Editing:

• Sector edit partitions or physical disks
• Copy sectors between disks and partitions
• Save Sector range to a file
• Restore Sector range from a file

Goto:

• Jump to specified address
• Jump to address relative to start of document
• Jump to address relative from end of document
• Jump to selected address
• Jump to current offset + selected address
• Jump to current offset - selected address
• Jump to last goto + selected address
• Jump to last goto - selected address
• Repeat last jump (relative from current offset)
• Jump backwards (relative from current offset)

Printing:

• Print and Print Preview
• Header and footer are highly customizable
• Page Setup allows configuration of: font, header, footer, margins and bytes per line

Bookmarks:

• View and edit data rendered as natural data type (byte, word, float, string, Unicode string, time_t, time64_t, structure reference, etc.)
• Integrated with Structure Viewer
• Array support (add multiple bookmarks with single definition)
• Calculations supported for address, length, and count (array) definitions: +, -, *, /, %
• Functions supported for address, length, and count (array) definitions: UByteAt(), UShortAt(), ULongAt()
• Constants supported for address, length, and count (array) definitions: last (bookmark), start (first bookmark), arrayindex, filelength

Structure Viewer:

• View and edit data in its natural structure and form
• File format resembles C/C++ style structure definition
• Embedded, nested and reference other structures in your definitions
• Many atomic data types supported: char, wchar, byte, ubyte, word, uword, long, ulong, longlong, float, double, OLE Date/Time, DOSTIME, DOSDATE, FILETIME, time_t, and time64_t
• Big Endian or Little Endian rendering
• Add floating structures that re-renders on caret position changes
• Add locked structures which stick to a document and offset
• Verify expected byte sequences in a document against the structure definition's expected values

Compare:

• Use either a Simple or Resynchronizing binary compare
• Resynchronizing Compare color codes the differences
• Ability to specify Resync Window (how far to look for insert/delete) and match bytes (how many bytes must match) for resynchronizing compares
• Set starting comparison offset independently for source and target files
• Set comparison length independently for source and target files

Checksum Generation:

• Checksum either entire document or a selection
