📖 Description
1. Why is File Hash Verification Needed?
During internet transmission, files are highly susceptible to changes due to various reasons. Hash verification is the "gold standard" for identifying these changes:
- Verify Download Integrity: Check if downloaded system images (e.g., ISO), drivers, or game packages have been corrupted due to network fluctuations.
- Guard Against Viruses & Malware: Compare against the original hash value provided by the software's official website. If the hashes don't match, the file may have been injected with backdoors or ads by a malicious third party.
- Confirm File Uniqueness: Determine if two large files are identical without checking their content line by line, simply by comparing their hash values.
- Digital Forensics: Generate a unique, fixed fingerprint for electronic documents, ensuring they have not been altered since creation.
2. Core Features Explained
This site's tool leverages advanced browser-level APIs to provide a verification experience comparable to desktop applications:
A. Comprehensive Algorithm Support (Multi-Algorithms)
- MD5: Fastest, commonly used for quick file consistency checks.
- SHA-1: Classic digest algorithm, widely used in Git version control and older digital signatures.
- SHA-256 / SHA-512: Current industrial-grade security standards with extremely high collision resistance, standard in mainstream security software.
B. Innovative "Zero-Upload" Technology
- Local Reading: The tool reads file data directly in your browser locally via the HTML5 File API.
- Privacy Assured: Your files (whether 1KB or hundreds of MB) are absolutely NOT uploaded to our servers. The entire calculation process is completed on your personal computer, saving bandwidth and protecting your privacy.
C. Batch Calculation & Comparison
- One-Click, Multiple Results: Select a file once to get results for all algorithms like MD5, SHA-1 simultaneously.
- Auto-Comparison Feature: Supports pasting the hash value from an official source. The system automatically compares and displays "Match (Green)" or "Mismatch (Red)".
D. High-Performance Processing
- Large File Optimization: Utilizes chunked reading (Streaming) technology. Even when processing multi-GB large files, your browser won't freeze due to high memory usage.

4. Quick Operation Guide
- Select/Drag File: Click the "Select File" button or drag and drop a file directly into the designated page area.
- Automatic Calculation: The system begins calculation immediately after the file loads (progress bar shown in real-time).
- Paste Comparison Value (Optional): Paste the hash value from an official source into the "Compare Reference Value" input box.
- View Results: The system displays the Hex string results for all algorithms.
- Copy Results: Click the "Copy" icon next to the desired algorithm to save the fingerprint information.
