No installation – just download and start checking hashes

Thankfully, File Hash Checker can be deployed pretty much instantly. The application stores no data anywhere on your PC, and it can be run from any location or drive, even portable devices.

Drop files onto the app window to calculate their hashes

There is no need to browse to a file’s location or insert its path; just drag and drop it in the application window, and the app will process the selected hash functions instantly.
File Hash Checker supports SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 and MD5; only the first of these is selected by default, and you have the enable additional ones before you load a file.
Once the hashes have been generated, you only need to paste the string you have obtained from the file’s source into the last field. If it matches any of the other values, a notification will be displayed.
