UEFITool is a cross-platform C++/Qt application that parses UEFI-compatible firmware images into a tree structure, verifies their integrity, and provides a GUI to view and edit their elements. It supports UEFI PI Specification images across x86, x86-64, arm64, and RISC-V systems.

Use cases

  • view the contents of a UEFI BIOS firmware image
  • edit or replace modules inside a UEFI firmware volume
  • extract firmware files from a motherboard BIOS dump
  • inspect FFSv3 volumes and firmware structure
  • patch firmware images to add or modify options
  • reverse engineer UEFI firmware images

When to choose

  • you need a cross-platform GUI to inspect or modify UEFI firmware images
  • you want an open-source alternative to vendor BIOS tools
  • you need to parse modern UEFI features like FFSv3 volumes
  • you want to extract or search firmware contents via derived tools like UEFIExtract or UEFIFind

When to avoid

  • you only need official EDK2 tooling without IBV customization support (consider FMMT)
  • you need a scriptable command-line-only workflow (the new engine's console UI is still in development)
  • you need to modify non-UEFI legacy BIOS images
