UltraEdit is a commercial text editor for Microsoft Windows, Linux[1] and Mac OS X (Intel) created in 1994 by Ian D. Mead. The editor contains tools for programmers, including macros, configurable syntax highlighting, code folding, file type conversions, project management, regular expressions for search-and-replace, a column-edit mode, remote editing of files via FTP, interfaces for APIs or command lines of choice and more. Files can be browsed and edited in tabs.[2]

Originally called UltraEdit, it was designed to run in Windows 3.1. A version called UltraEdit-32 was later created to run in Windows NT and Windows 95. The last 16-bit UltraEdit program was 6.20b.

Beginning with version 11, the Wintertree spell check engine was replaced by GNU Aspell.

UltraEdit-32 was renamed to UltraEdit in version 14.00.

An installation of UltraEdit takes about 30 MB of disk space. It also supports Unicode and hex editing mode. It does not have complete support for Unicode.
