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.
