With this software, you can generate MD and SHA hashes for single files or directories, using special algorithms to calculate a checksum value based on the content of the file. Duplicate files are also highlighted for easy identification.

The checksum result is a calculated value based on the content of the file by special algorithm. In addition, duplicated files are highlighted, and bigger and older ones are also identified. With an analyzed file generating an overview of volume and extension, you can easily keep track of your files.
Verifying the file integrity of a downloaded document or program is made possible with this tool. Its interface is user-friendly; simply choose the file from your computer storage and the tool calculates and displays checksum values. As an added bonus, the results can be copied to the clipboard and exported to a CSV, XML, or TEXT file.
This software supports various algorithms, including MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and RIPEMD. It is free of charge and available for use at no monetary cost. Anyone can copy and diffuse it without restriction as long as it's free of charge. However, the author restricts the rights of the user to modify, make derivative works, or reverse-engineer the software.
To make things easier, the software does not require any set up or installation process. Alternatively, you can choose Togo Mode or Portable Mode (as seen on the software's web site), or use the .exe file directly. It also supports Windows 8.1, 8, 7, and XP, including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Note that there are two different Windows modes regarding Microsoft .NET Framework. The first one works with Windows XP and higher, while the second one is compatible with Windows Seven and higher. As the last .NET release is 4-0 and support is stopped with XP, it's advisable to use the .NET 4-6 release for Windows 7, 8, and higher.
Overall, the File Checksum Utility software is an excellent choice for ensuring file safety and integrity, and the fact that it's user-friendly with various supported algorithms makes it a reliable software worth considering.
