Version 5.0.0.1

One focused workspace

Edit, manage and compile Windows resources.

Update an application without rebuilding it, move resources between formats, or check what changed before your next release.

Make changes visually

Adjust a dialog, replace an icon or update a string directly in your application resources, without recompiling the application.

Reuse resources across formats

Extract resources from EXE and DLL files, or convert .NET resources to native RES and RC files for another project.

Check and automate

Compare resource changes between builds, compile RC scripts and add repeatable checks to your build pipeline.

Inside Resource Builder

Inspect changes. Edit resources.

Compare two builds, edit a .NET value or refine a multi-size icon.

Build comparison

Compare builds and merge changes.

See which resources were added, removed or changed. Preview differences and merge selected resources into your project.

Native & .NET

Edit .NET resources directly.

Open and save .resx and .resources files, edit supported values, and convert resources to native RES or RC files.

Visual editing

Edit images with layers.

Refine icons and bitmaps with layer-aware tools. Import layered Photoshop files and edit each layer before saving the result as a resource.
