simple checksum

checksum's little brother!

Ultra-low profile desktop application, a mere strip of a program..

Supports drag-and-drop file hashing, as well as on-demand string hashing. You can also drop files directly onto the program icon (or a shortcut to it), or supply a file name on the command-line, to launch with the checksum already done! Everying about simple checksum is well, simple!

Uses the same ultra-fast hashing engine as its big brother; checksum.

Supports both MD5 and SHA1 hashing algorithms, completely FREE (it comes with checksum). So feel free to throw a shortcut into your SendTo menu.
simple checksum is designed to sit out-of-the-way somewhere, supports transparency and "always on top" bit-setting for extended desktop usage, enabling you to do visual comparisons of checksums with your web browser open, even full screen.

You can show/hide simple checksum by simply clicking its system tray icon. Everything has ToolTip help, even the system tray icon.

Easily switch between MD5 and SHA1 hashing with HotKeys or via simple checksum's application menu - simple checksum will recalculate the hash using the new algorithm, without the need for a second drag-and-drop.



Launch simple checksum with a file (via drag & drop, SendTo, etc.), and get an instant MD5 or SHA1 hash, ready to view or copy into your clipboard.

simple checksum is FREE!
