Resource Hacker

Resource Hacker is a resource-editing and compilation tool designed for Windows apps that acts as an editor for viewing and modifying resources within executables (*.exe; *.dll; .scr, etc.) and compiled resource libraries (.res, *.mui). It offers options for both graphic editing and command-line compilation.

Viewing and editing resources

Resource Hacker presents these elements as images or decompiled text. Although binary resources cannot be edited directly, Resource Hacker offers the ability to export or import them with ease after modifications are made with an external photo editor. In addition, items with unknown formats will be displayed as read-only binary text, although you can use this feature to display any option.

Powerful command line syntax

Almost all of Resource Hacker's features are accessible from the command line without opening the GUI. On the other hand, you can use all the instructions and scripts to end the monotony of performing repetitive tasks. In addition, the compiler includes special features such as the #INCLUDE directive for accessing definition statements in header files, as well as the #DEFINE, #UNDEF, #IF, and #ELIF directives. Strings may also contain escape characters and support script comments.

In short, Resource Hacker is a powerful resource compiler and editor for Windows apps with graphic and command line features, both of which can help you view, edit, and compile these elements in executable files and compiled resource libraries in an easy and convenient way.
