For more than 30 years, UltraEdit is used by individual professionals and organizations that need a dependable tool for demanding text-based workflows. It can open and edit files larger than 10 GB, making it well suited for large logs, datasets, exports, configuration files, source code, and other text-heavy files that can become difficult to manage in lightweight editors. UltraEdit combines large-file performance with a broad set of tools for complex editing and data manipulation. Users can run advanced search and replace operations, work with regular expressions, edit data in column and block mode, sort and reformat content, record macros for repetitive tasks, inspect files in hex, compare files, and work directly with remote files through built-in FTP, SFTP, and FTPS. For organizations, UltraEdit is designed to be more than another desktop utility. Files are processed locally, offline activation options are available for restricted environments, and the product is backed by ongoing commercial maintenance and professional support. This makes it a practical choice for teams working with sensitive information or business-critical processes in banking, insurance, healthcare, government, and other regulated or risk-sensitive environments. UltraEdit is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is suited to developers, IT administrators, data professionals, analysts, and technical teams that want one powerful, commercially supported editor for routine tasks as well as their most critical work. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 41 users.

Ideal for programmers or simply read text. Performs advanced functions apart from editing, such as highlighting text and comparing files. It is very good to edit multiple files and connect via FTP to other servers to edit files. I really like its interface and the possibility to customize its appearance. > > **Cons**: UltraEdit requires the user to devote a great effort to understand the large number of functions it offers. Unlike other publishers, UltraEdit offers too many possibilities and functionalities that can be overwhelming for the user. However, all this is what makes UltraEdit a very powerful and worthwhile software to understand. > > It is an editor that is available in each sector of my work, and it has been useful to me even though I do not dedicate myself to programming. I have used it to search for text and edit small text files, being very useful in office tasks only for certain occasions. ----- ### "éditeur de texte" — 4.0/5 > **tafakda** | *18 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: you can easily copy and paste you can open several files at once the search mode which is efficient and finally the text editing it integrates easily with Evernote > > **Cons**: its interface is not designer, so it will be necessary to improve > > with ultraedit, I save work time and money; because its price is affordable ----- ### "Text Editing with UltraEdit" — 3.0/5 > **Anil** | *23 June 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: UltraEdit has important feature to use while you are editing your codes. > > **Cons**: UltraEdit should have more feature to use while you are editing your code. > > I used UltraEdit over 6 months to edit my text and code section.

Great for doing HTML work for websites--which is my main use of it. But it can be used for any text-editing requirement--and this is important for anyone whose computer needs go beyond e-mail and MS-Word. e.g. most mailing list programs allow import of text files, and these can easily be cleaned up with UltraEdit. > > **Cons**: As with any feature-rich program, a learning curve is involved if you want to go beyond the basics. But, there is an elaborate Help facility that will provide assistance, as well as quick customer support. I once needed some macros, and the support team wrote them for me\! > > I've been using this program since its Version 4--and now they're up to Ver 25\! I've been working on websites since the late 1990s, and a good text/HTML editor is essential--even if you are using a WYSIWYG program, especially if you want to fine tune the page appearance. While everything is now done with content management software, text tweaks still need to be accomplished. The company behind UE is dedicated to keeping it the best. Strongest recommendation. ----- ### "best editor on market" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 October 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A powerful Text Editor that can handle most file formats, ultraedit supports various character encoding so it can handle almost every file. support many programing languages with great Highlighting, and it just keeps getting better with every update > > **Cons**: the User Interface can be improved a lot, advanced features require some learning curve to use > > overall I am satisfied with my experience and what this software offers, and the amount of problems it helped me to solve ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/287880/ultraedit?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/287880/ultraedit) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
