MD5 File Hasher

MD5 File Hasher is an advanced software utility that you can use to verify the integrity of your files in batch mode by resorting to their MD5 checksums. It features a bunch of handy options, such as the ability to create new checksums. The app is mostly geared toward experienced users.

Speedy setup and neatly organized UI

The installation procedure does not take a long time to finish. As for the interface, MD5 File Hasher is wrapped in a regular window split into multiple panes.

Calculate and export hashes

In order to find out the hash of a file, all you have to do is point it out with the file browser or drag-and-drop method. Selected entries can be copied to the Clipboard, or all information can be exported to file.

Create and validate checkfiles

When it comes to creating new checkfiles, it is necessary to indicate a saving folder and, optionally include subfolders and hidden files. They can be seamlessly validated by just specifying a file and asking MD5 File Hasher to check for new and deleted items as well. Once again, results can be copied to the Clipboard for closer examination.

Schedule multiple tasks, create reports, configure app settings

It is possible to create and schedule one or more jobs when it comes to checking any locations on the disk once, after system restart, or on regular basis at a specified time and date. You can repeat the job and define file exceptions, as well as activate logs for new, changed and deleted files.
As far as program settings are concerned, it is possible to remove MD5 File Hasher's entry from the system tray and autorun sequence at Windows startup, delete older reports and set the number of default, modify the default location for saved tasks, and so on.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no kind of issues in our tests, since MD5 File Hasher did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It carries out tasks in reasonable time while remaining light on system resources, using low CPU and RAM. Thanks to its wide range of features and customization settings, MD5 File Hasher should meet the requirements of advanced users when it comes to tinkering with MD5 hashes.
