Hex and ASCII together
Read the raw bytes next to their text interpretation, so a file header or a corrupt section is right there to see.
Inspect files as hex and ASCII.
Hex Viewer opens any file as a side-by-side hex and ASCII dump and lets you search for text or byte patterns inside it - the right tool when a file will not open, a header looks wrong, or you just need to see what is really in there.
