Portable DP Hash

Designed as the portable edition of DP Hash, Portable DP Hash is a easy-to-use application that you can use to find out various checksums of files, regardless of their type, as well as to compare any two hashes to figure out if the files are identical or different.

It offers support for CRC-16, CRC-24, CRC-32, CRC-64, FCRC-32, Adler-32, eDonkey, MD-4, MD-5, RMD-160, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256, Whirlpool-512, BMW-224, and BMV-256.

It's not packed in a setup kit, so you can save the downloaded files in a custom location on the HDD or copy them to a USB flash drive, and just click the .exe to launch DP Hash. It doesn't modify Windows registry settings.

Regarding the interface, the app adopts a normal-looking window that doesn't put emphasis on graphical elements, yet it's easy to navigate. It supports multiple languages.

You can use the file browser to find and select a file, pick the preferred hash type from a drop-down menu, and click a button to calculate it immediately. It's displayed in the main window with lowercase letters and can be copied to the Clipboard. Plus, you can find out the calculation time.

If you want to compare two hashes, it's necessary to type or paste a second one. Portable DP Hash shows a message dialog that lets you know whether the two files are different or identical.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors. We haven't come across any stability issues. Checksums were calculated and compared almost instantly, during which Portable DP Hash remained light on system resources consumption.

Thanks to its intuitive options and extensive hash support, it should meet the requirements of many users.
