It colorizes bytes according to different rules and renders them as pixels in a rectangular grid. This allows users to identify interesting parts in large files and to reveal image-like regions.
Examples
| ELF binary | MS Teams memdump | Doom assets | perf record samples |
|---|---|---|---|
| <img src="assets/example-elf.png" width="200" /> | <img src="assets/example-teams-memdump.png" width="200" /> | <img src="assets/example-doom.png" width="200" /> | <img src="assets/example-perf-record.png" width="200" /> |

How it works
The program allows you to control various parameters like the offset into the file, the stride, the width of the rectangular grid as well as the way in which (groups of) bytes are colorized.
