fHash Description
fHash is a feather-light application that gives you the possibility to discover the MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and CRC32 checksum of any file, as well as to compare hashes. It comes loaded with an intuitive set of options that can be handled by anyone with ease.
No installation required
This is a portable utility, so there is no installation involved. You can save the app files anywhere on the disk or on a USB flash disk to directly launch the app on any machine effortlessly. More importantly, it doesn’t add new entries to the Windows registry.
Calculate and compare checksums
The interface is user-friendly, made from a single window that invites you to use a file browser or drop a file to find out its MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and CRC32 hashes, along with the full path, file size, and date of last modification. This task is carried out instantly.
Batch processing is supported, so you can drop multiple files to calculate their hashes at the same time. Furthermore, you can enter a hash to find out if it matches the one of the selected file, copy data to the Clipboard, show uppercase letters, as well as integrate fHash into the Windows Explorer right-click menu for quickly calculating hashes. Information can be cleared with just a couple of clicks,
Evaluation and conclusion
As we expected, it didn’t put a strain on the overall performance of the computer in our tests, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM. Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer support for dropping folders with multiple files, and it froze in our tests when we attempted to do this.
Nevertheless, fHash delivers a simple solution for finding out the MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and CRC32 signatures or multiple files at once, and it can be handled with ease by anyone.
