Q22
Q22 is a free, open-source binary editor for Linux and Windows, and the successor to Catch22 HexEdit for Windows. It opens large binary files and supports cut, copy, paste, insertion, deletion, undo, and redo. Data can be viewed as hexadecimal, decimal, octal, binary, or text, with bytes grouped into 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit values. Structure View expands headers, sections, imports, exports, and symbols in PE and ELF files, and accepts custom Strata .strata definitions. The disassembler handles x86 32-bit and 64-bit, ARM, ARM Thumb, and AArch64, while detecting PE and ELF entrypoints. Bookmarks and highlights retain positions for later use. Clipboard, import, and export formats include raw data, Base64, Intel HEX, Motorola S-records, HTML, C, C++, and assembler-style data. Panels provide file properties, checksums, and string extraction. Themes, palettes, preferences, docked panels, and platform-specific window chrome are configurable.
