This will toggle whether you are viewing the file in hex. To test if your install was successful, restart Notepad++, and you should see a menu option Plugins -> Hex-Editor -> View in Hex. (For older versions of Notepad++, omit the He圎ditor folder) If you installed the 32-bit version of Notepad++ and C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\He圎ditor Do not click the big green download button (HTMLTag_plugin or etc) - that's an ad and could be some app that's nearly impossible to get rid of.įinally, open the zip file, select the He圎ditor.dll file and place it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\He圎ditor If you know of a better link to the 64-bit version, please suggest it in the comments. To find it, scroll down past the 32-bit version. I recommend installing the 64-bit version unless you have a VERY old machine. I personally use HxD instead of a Notepad++ hexeditor because I'm not aware of a Notepad++ hexeditor which supports undo, which is a critical feature for me.įirst, install Notepad++.

Please see Ian's answer or another answer for a solution which works with a 64-bit version.

The Hex-Editor recommended here only works for the 32-bit version of Notepad++.
