VisualHash1.2

VisualHash is an advanced and straightforward application you can use to calculate a wide range of checksum types for files. This way, you can verify the integrity of files before downloading them from the Internet, for example.

Extensive support for hash types

It offers support for Adler32, Cksum32, CRC16, CRC16 CCITT, CRC16 XModem, CRC32 / FCS32, CRC32 MPEG2, CRC64, ELF32, FCS16, FNV16, FNV32, FNV64, GOST, MD2, MD4, MD5, PJW32, SDBM32, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, Size64, Size32, and XUM32.

No setup required, beside .NET Framework

You can save the downloaded app files to a custom location on the disk or copy them to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly launch VisualHash on any computer. However, it must have .NET Framework installed. It doesn't change any Windows registry settings but it updates its configuration file every time to modify options.As far as the interface goes, the program adopts a standard window split into four panes for inputting hash files and text, selecting which algorithm to use, and configuring settings.

Find out file and text hashes

Files can be added using the file browser or drag-and-drop support. Since batch processing is permitted, you can calculate signatures for multiple files at the same time, as well as indicate directories whose entire file contents you want to add to the task list.Before making calculations, you can visit the algorithms panel to choose the hash types to take into account while excluding the rests. Results can be copied.In addition, the utility enables you to calculate checksums for text, modify the default number of characters for the base indent, and make all characters uppercase.

Evaluation and conclusion

To conclude, VisualHash comes equipped with comprehensive, yet intuitive options to help you calculate hash types for files and text. Tasks were carried out fast in our tests, during which system resources usage was minimal.
