AS-Identical File Content

If you store a large number of files on your computer, there is a good chance that many of them are identical, but it is not easy to ensure there are no differences between them without the right tool to help you out.
AS-Identical File Content is a straightforward application that can read two files and compare them byte for byte, in order to determine whether or not they are identical. The program is very intuitive, and it does not need to be installed on your PC before use.

Simple tool that can help you find duplicate files

In order to compare two files, you need to navigate to their location on your hard drive and input their paths into the required fields. Once that is done, you only have to press the Compare button and let the application do its thing.
AS-Identical File Content does not rely on checksums or hash values. Instead, it verifies if the two files are equal in size and, if that is the case, it then reads them until it finds a byte value that is not identical.
The application can be used to compare both small and large files, and it can complete the operation relatively quickly. However, it would have been great if it offered support for drag and drop actions.

Lightweight utility that can be deployed very easily

AS-Identical File Content can be launched as soon as the downloaded archive is unpacked, as no installation procedure is required. You can also store the application on a USB drive and use it to compare files on multiple computers
Moreover, the program does not store any additional data on your hard drive, which means that no traces will be left behind after you have deleted the main executable.

Straightforward, easy-to-use file comparison tool

On the whole, AS-Identical File Content is a simple utility that can help you find duplicate files. It offers no advanced features, but it does its job without complicating matters unnecessarily, and it is also fully portable.
