File Hash Compare Description
File Hash Compare is a simple to use application that can generate hash codes for several files at the same time. The results are displayed in the program’s interface, in neighboring fields, in order to make it easy for you to compare them. The application can calculate the files’ hash codes based on several algorithms.
Quickly check files’ hash codes
File Hash Compare allows you to generate the checksums for a multitude of files that you can import into the list. The algorithms used for hash code generation include MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, CRC32, CRC64 and Tiger.
The results for all these calculations can be simultaneously displayed in the program’s interface, however, you may also create filters. The settings menu allows you to check the algorithms you wish to exclude from the table display.
Moreover, you can choose to have the program display the files’ sizes along with the hash codes. These are simple measures that you can take in order to verify if a file has been tampered with.
Context menu integration and file comparison
File Hash Compare features the option to integrate in Windows Explorer’s context menu. Then you can simply right-click on the icon, select the designated entry and view as the program adds the file to the list. The hash codes and size are instantly displayed.
The program facilitates the hash code comparison, since it can generate various types of checksums, based on multiple algorithms. The comparison itself, however, must be manually performed, since the program does not offer you the possibility of loading hashes from external files.
Security tool for file verification
File Hash Compare offers you a simple and handy solution for verifying if two files are identical or not. The system works as long as you own the hash code for a healthy version of a file: load the freshly downloaded item into the list, let the program check its hash, then compare it to the initial code. The values can be exported to a text file.
