checksum hash md5 sha1 sha256 sha384 sha512

Use this command to install PromptlyHash with WinGet:

winget install --id=Draconequus.PromptlyHash -e

PromptlyHash is an open-source Windows 11 desktop application for generating and checking MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 file hashes. Hashing happens locally; selected files are never uploaded.

Generate and verify file checksums with confidence.

PromptlyHash is an open-source Windows 11 desktop application for generating and checking file hashes. Hashing happens locally; selected files are never uploaded.

Features

Browse for any local file
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 hashes
Compare a supplied hash with the selected file
Clear match and mismatch results
Copy generated hashes to the clipboard
Responsive and scrollable interface for different screen sizes and DPI settings
Progress indicator while large files are processed
Editable Markdown-based About window

Security considerations

Prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512 for new checksums.
MD5 and SHA-1 are included only for compatibility with existing checksums. They are vulnerable to collision attacks and should not be used to establish trust in newly published files.
A matching checksum confirms that file content matches an expected value; it does not identify or authenticate the file's publisher.
Hashing operations do not make network requests. The About window opens the project page in the default browser only when its link is clicked.
The application places a hash on the Windows clipboard only when the user selects Copy.

Download

Download the latest installer or standalone executable from GitHub Releases.

PromptlyHash-Setup.msi installs PromptlyHash and adds a versioned Start menu shortcut. If another PromptlyHash installation is detected, removing it is the default; users can instead keep both versions in separate installation folders.
PromptlyHash.exe is a standalone, self-contained 64-bit executable.
SHA256SUMS.txt contains checksums for both release files.

Installed copies use the title PromptlyHash - vX.Y.Z in the application window, Start menu, installation folder, and Windows installed-app list so side-by-side versions are easy to distinguish.

> [!IMPORTANT] > Public release files are currently unsigned. Windows SmartScreen may display a warning until code signing is configured. Verify downloads against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Build from source

Requirements:

Windows
.NET 10 SDK or newer
Internet access for the initial .NET runtime and WiX SDK restore

Build and test the standalone executable:

.\build.ps1

Build and test both the executable and MSI:

.\build.ps1 -Msi

Outputs are written to:

artifacts\publish\win-x64\PromptlyHash.exe
installer\bin\x64\Release\PromptlyHash-Setup.msi

Development

dotnet build PromptlyHash.sln
dotnet run --project src\PromptlyHash
dotnet run --project tests\PromptlyHash.Tests

The test application checks known hash vectors, validation, cancellation, file hashing, responsive layout, result visibility, scrolling, selector contrast, legacy-algorithm warnings, and About content.

Customize the application

Edit src/PromptlyHash/About.md to change the About window. It is embedded during the build.
See BRANDING.md for logo, color, typography, and writing guidance.
The primary vector logo is assets/PromptlyHash-logo.svg.
Keep the vector logo and tools\Generate-Icon.ps1 geometry synchronized when changing the mark, then run the script to regenerate the Windows icon.

AI development disclosure

PromptlyHash was developed with assistance from OpenAI Codex using GPT-5.6 Sol. AI-assisted output was reviewed, tested, and integrated as part of the development process. The project maintainer remains responsible for the published source code and releases.
