• Hash calculation. HashMyFiles calculates hashes using MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, and CRC32 algorithms. Each hash is generated independently and displayed in separate columns for easy comparison.
• File comparison. It allows comparing two or more files using their hashes. If the values match, the files are identical in content, which is useful for verifying integrity or detecting duplicates.
• Exporting results. The generated data can be exported in formats such as TXT, CSV, HTML, or XML. This facilitates further analysis or inclusion in reports.
• Context menu integration. The tool can be added to the Windows Explorer context menu. When selecting files, HashMyFiles can be run directly from the menu.
• Advanced filtering. Includes options to filter files by name, extension, or hash value. This helps quickly find specific files in large lists.
• Detailed file information. Displays metadata such as size, creation date, modification date, and attributes. This information complements the hashes for a complete analysis.
• Drag and drop support. Allows adding files to the interface by dragging them from Windows Explorer. Simplifies the multi-selection process.
• Command line execution. HashMyFiles can be used with command line parameters to automate processes. It is compatible with scripts and scheduled tasks.
• Customizable interface. Visible columns can be adjusted according to user needs. It is also possible to change the order and width of the columns.
• Support for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. There are separate versions for x86 and x64 systems, optimized for each architecture.
• Duplicate file search. Identifies files with the same hash, indicating they are identical. Useful for storage cleanup.
• Automatic updates. The tool can check for new versions directly from the interface, ensuring that the latest version is always used.

HashMyFiles was developed by Nir Sofer, founder of NirSoft. The program was initially released in 2007 and is written in C++. NirSoft specializes in portable and low-resource tools focused on system administration and diagnostics. The application does not require installation and is distributed as a standalone executable.
