About binocle
binocle visualizes binary data by coloring bytes according to configurable rules and rendering them as pixels. You can adjust the file offset, stride, grid width, and byte coloring to inspect large files and spot image-like regions.
It is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project is dual-licensed under MIT and Apache-2.0.
