Hash Checker - Free ShareX Tool

Hash Checker in ShareX — sha256, md5, integrity. How this built-in tool works and how to configure it in the free, open-source Windows app.

ShareX Hash Checker

The hash checker tool computes cryptographic checksums for any file, helping you verify file integrity and detect corruption or tampering.

Supported Algorithms

  • SHA-256 — Industry standard, recommended for most uses
  • SHA-512 — Higher security hash
  • MD5 — Fast checksum, widely used for download verification
  • SHA-1 — Legacy algorithm, still common in many tools
  • CRC-32 — Quick integrity check

How to Use

  1. Go to Tools → Hash Checker
  2. Select or drag-and-drop a file into the tool
  3. ShareX computes all hash values simultaneously
  4. Compare the generated hash with the expected value
  5. Copy any hash to clipboard for sharing

Common Use Cases

  • Verifying software downloads — Compare the computed hash with the one published by the developer
  • File integrity checking — Ensure files haven't been corrupted during transfer
  • Duplicate detection — Files with identical SHA-256 are guaranteed duplicates
  • Forensic verification — Confirm that files have not been modified

You can find the official SHA-256 checksums for ShareX downloads on the download page.
