Visit EditPad Lite

EditPad Lite is a general-purpose text editor for Windows intended as a replacement for Notepad, designed for editing plain text files. It handles large files and long lines, and supports automatic backup and working copies to prevent data loss.

The editor provides a tabbed interface for working with multiple files, with unlimited undo and redo for all open files, even after saving. It offers full Unicode support, including complex and right-to-left scripts, and direct editing using Windows, UNIX, and Mac text encodings and line breaks. Search and replace supports literal terms and regular expressions that can span multiple lines. Additional features include clip collections, a fully configurable interface, and a portable editor mode.

EditPad Lite is free for personal use, with paid licenses available for other use. Licenses are sold per user, with multi-user packages for larger groups, and a bundle with AceText is also offered. A three-month money-back guarantee applies to purchases, and licenses include email support and minor updates.
