Gizmo Editor isn’t a standalone application, it is part of a freeware tool called Gizmo Central, or Gizmo for short. Now that that’s out of the way, the main thing you need to know about Gizmo Editor is that it is a text and hex/binary editor that provides support for lots of file types, including ASP, HTML, SQL, and text files.

The Quick Look video that accompanies this article presents the steps you must go through to install Gizmo Central and Gizmo Editor on your Windows computer. According to the developer, Gizmo is compatible with 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, and Windows 7. Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 aren’t on the list because the last time Gizmo received an update was in 2011, before Windows 8’s release.

There are two ways of using Gizmo Editor:
From Gizmo Central’s interface – use the Open function to select a file and then choose if you want to open it with the file editor or the hex editor.
From the right click context menu – Gizmo Editor integrates with Windows Explorer, meaning that it will add itself to the right click context menu. Right click a file and choose if you want to open it with the file editor or the hex editor.

Gizmo Editor provides support for ASP, HTML, Java, PERL, PHP, SQL, Text, VBScript, XML, Batch, C++, Resource Files, DCL, Pascal, Python, and Shell Scripts.
