File Essentials

File Essentials is a reliable and feature-packed software solution that offers you the possibility to perform a wide range of actions on your files without leaving its intuitive GUI.

Calculate and compare hash values

The application makes it easy for you to calculate the checksum of any selected file; you can either browse to its location or you can drag and drop it onto the dedicated field. Next, you can choose the hash value you are interested in, such as MD5, SHA-1 or CRC32, and then generate the checksum with a single mouse click.
Moreover, you can also compare the generated value with one that you paste from another document, so as to find out if they are identical or not. You also have the possibility to compare standalone files to verify if their contents are similar or not.

Effortlessly split and join files

You can also cut large files into smaller fragments that can be shared with friends or sent via email without any restriction. File Essentials allows you to split your document by specifying the fragments’ size or their number, depending on your preferences, then choose the target folder.
When it comes to combining the parts into a single file, you only need to browse to the location of the first segment, then the merging process completes within seconds.

Customize timestamps for multiple files

Another nifty function of File Essentials is that you can modify the timestamps of one or multiple files in one go, with as little hassle as possible.
More precisely, you can edit the date when your files were created, modified or accessed, by specifying the day, month, year and time.
All in all, File Essentials comes in handy to all those who often need to look for duplicates among their many folders, generate and compare checksums, or split and merge files.
