FastHasher is a free tool for hashing your files faster than ever!
The ideal tool for hashing all the iso images and files you've downloaded in a blink of an eye.
It's compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 in 32 & 64 bits.
Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012 and 2016 are supported.
Requirements: To have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or higher installed.
Prefer the portable version? You can get it here: FastHasher Portable.
Important, If you experience slowness on context menu hashing, then either:
- Add the application to exclusions in your Windows SmartScreen Filter (or turn off completely);
- Check if your Antivirus is not slowing things down (and add to exclusions too);
- Install all the updates for your Windows OS and current .NET Framework.

Performance tips:
- Use the default settings for best results;
- You can skip MD5 or SHA1 to lower CPU load on slower machines;
- Different SHA2 hash algorithms may be faster to compute on newer machines;
- Lower your buffer size for older machines with slow CPUs or slow disks;
- For SSD and/or newer CPUs you can change your buffer size to 8MB;
- Donations and e-mails always make all the problems go away;
- Keep your disk's filesystem clean of errors to avoid problems at all levels and costs;
- The Drag & Drop feature needs the Windows OS integrity to be clean and the .NET Framework to be intact;
- If it is still not enough, then add the application to exclusions in your Windows SmartScreen and Antivirus.
