Welcome to GView’s documentation!

GView is a cross-platform reverse engineering and data analysis framework. It lets you examine files, buffers, or memory through multiple visualization options and a plugin-based architecture for file formats and generic operations.

Try it without installing anything: GView in your browser is GView compiled to WebAssembly. The files you open stay in your browser tab. See GView in a web browser (WebAssembly).
