HashForm

HashForm is a straightforward and highly efficient piece of software that enables you to check the checksum of any file.

First and foremost, you should know that this utility comes with support for four types of checksum algorithms, namely MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512.

Deploying it on your computer is quite effortless since it does not require any type of installation. The only noteworthy requirement is NET. Framework 4.6, but if you're running the latest version of Windows, you need not worry about this.

Convenience is sometimes that also comes to mind while using the app. Not only does it sport an intuitive and clutter-free, although not exactly impressive, user interface, but it also comes with support for drag and drop.

You will notice that there are two modes, namely Files and Text, and the app is capable of automatically switching between them according to what type of file you're dropping on the lower section of its main window.

Other neat features include the possibility to copy the checksums directly to your computer's clipboard, as well as to very hash values for specific files or text, and, since we're on the subject, please note that text can be typed in directly in the app's main window.

Even though the app's novice-accessible UI coupled with easy-to-reach features make up for a streamlined user experience, you might struggle with some of its more advanced features. That said, there's a good chance you will appreciate the app's thoroughly-documented Help section.

Hash generators and checkers are by nature simple, and widely-accessible applications and HashForm is no exception. The application brings to the table support for text files, support for drag and drop and a hefty and useful documentation section.
