MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility Icon

MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility is a freeware tool that allows you to generate and verify cryptographic hashes of single or multiple files. The program support wide range of hash algorithms including CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 and even modern standards such as hashed from SHA-3 and BLAKE3 family.

Cryptographic hash functions are commonly used to guard against malicious changes to protected data in a wide variety of software, Internet, and security applications, including digital signatures and other forms of authentication. Two of the most common cryptographic hash functions are the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) and Message Digest Algorithm-5 (MD5).

Key Features:

  • Easy-to-use user interface
  • Generate and verify cryptographic hashes
  • Support MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 & SHA-512
