UltraEdit is a text editor for developers, database administrators, and IT teams who need to work with large files, source code, structured data, and remote systems. It combines advanced editing, search, preview, XML support, automation, and server access in one application for everyday technical work.
Large File Editing
UltraEdit opens and edits very large files, including files beyond 4 GB. It is built for heavy search and replace operations, making it useful for log analysis, data inspection, and other tasks that involve substantial text or structured content.
Multi-Caret And Column Editing
The editor supports multi-caret editing, multi-select, and column mode, so you can change repeated values, align content, and edit vertically across rows. This is especially useful for code, tabular text, configuration files, and bulk text changes.
Advanced Search And Replace
UltraEdit can search within files and across folders and directories, with filters such as regular expressions, inverse search, and column-based search. It also supports find and replace across files, projects, and directories for broader editing tasks.
Code-Aware Editing
UltraEdit includes syntax highlighting for many programming languages, code folding, hierarchical function listing, and code beautifying and reformatting. These features help developers read, navigate, and maintain source code more efficiently in day-to-day development work.
Auto-Completion And Smart Templates
The editor provides dynamic, context-aware auto-completion through IntelliTips, along with smart templates for faster code entry. These capabilities help reduce repetitive typing and support more consistent editing when working with modern programming languages.
HTML And Markdown Preview
UltraEdit offers live preview for HTML and Markdown, rendering changes as you edit. It also supports GitHub Flavored Markdown highlighting and lets you jump from the preview to the related source, which helps with documentation and web content editing.
XML And Markup Support
UltraEdit includes XML handling features such as tree view, reformatting, validation, and auto-closing XML and HTML tags. This makes it well suited to editing markup, configuration files, data exchange formats, and other structured text.
Remote File And Server Access
Integrated FTP supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS, and the editor also includes SSH and Telnet access. This allows users to edit remote files, upload project content, and interact with servers directly from the same workspace.
Automation And Data Utilities
UltraEdit includes macros and scripts for automated editing, plus utilities such as CSV reformatting, file and data sorting, Base64 encode and decode, file encryption and decryption, log file polling, and hex editing for specialized technical workflows.
Projects, Navigation, And Workspace Control
The application includes project support, integrated Ctags for symbol listing, robust bookmarking, split and duplicate window editing, and a highly customizable interface with configurable menus, layouts, and themes. This helps teams adapt the editor to different development and administration workflows.
