Swift Hash is an intuitive and straightforward piece of software whose main purpose resides in helping you determine the hash value of any file you want, in one of several available algorithms, all from the right-click menu.

During the setup process, there are no noteworthy events and the entire process undergoes quite smoothly, enabling you to start working with it right away.

Aside from its main interface, Swift Hash also integrates into the Windows context menu, so you can obtain a document’s hash just by right-clicking it.

The application supports five different algorithms, namely MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512, letting you pick whichever you prefer, either from the right-click submenu entitled Swift Hash or from the main window.

In the cause of files loaded from the context menu, their hash is automatically displayed in the ‘Result’ window, allowing you to copy it to clipboard and paste it in a different file or screen.

If, however, you manually browse through your PC and add the document into Swift Hash, you will need to choose the ‘Algorithm’ from the corresponding menu and press the ‘Calculate Hash’ button.

Moreover, the utility features a comparison section, where you can paste the hash you were expecting to get and learn if it matches the resulted string or not. This way, you can determine if a file you downloaded, for instance, is the one it claimed to be or it was altered.

In short, Swift Hash is a user-friendly and simple to understand program that you can rely on to calculate the correct hash for your files with minimal strain, supporting various algorithms, including MD5 and SHA256.
