PyHashSum

❓ Overview

PyHashSum is a powerful yet intuitive graphical tool designed to simplify the process of calculating and verifying checksums using various algorithms such as MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512. With its clean and modern interface, the utility supports drag-and-drop functionality, copying checksum results to the clipboard, and saving results to text or JSON files. Additionally, it allows for folder scanning, making it ideal for batch processing multiple files.

Whether you're verifying file integrity, managing large datasets, or ensuring data security, PyHashSum has you covered!
