GHex is a hex editor for the GNOME desktop.
GHex can load raw data from binary files and display them for editing in a traditional hex editor view. The display is split in two columns, with hexadecimal values in one column and the ASCII representation in the other. GHex is a useful tool for working with raw data.
GHex is part of the GNOME Extra Apps family of applications and is not a core GNOME application.
