EmEditor overview

What is EmEditor?

EmEditor is an on-premise proofreading and editing software designed for businesses with specific teams of server and database administrators, HTML designers, programmers, content editors, and publishers. The application helps users manage and edit large text files using features such as syntax highlighting and custom configurations.

EmEditor lets businesses segregate, sort, search, and examine big data files. The multiple selection editing feature allows users to work on text sections and remove duplicate entries, rename variables, and enter data in the same document. The platform also allows administrators to conduct binary editing and save large files on low disk space.

The error handler and crash recovery features enable automatic file saving when the program or window suddenly stops, crashes, or is forced to shut down. EmEditor offers configurations that allow users to integrate external applications such as Google search and CSS HTML Validator to streamline workflows and increase productivity.

“Limited mobile support: EmEditor is not available on mobile devices, which can be a problem for users who need to edit files on the go.”

Sam C.

Design Engineer

“Many other programs fail, because they are not able to open very large files (especially non-commercial programs), to filter with regex, or are much slower.”
