What is a hash?

Hashes can verify that a file has not been altered or corrupted. By comparing the hash of a file, we can ensure its integrity.

Mode Description

Compare File Hash

A common use case is verifying that a downloaded file or application has not been tampered with, providing assurance that the content is authentic and safe to use.

Roesti will inform you whether or not the compared hashes are the same

Hashes match

Match success! Both hashes are the same.

Hash do not match

Both hashes are different.

Generate File Hash

You may consider generating file hashes when you want to verify its integrity before and after the file transfer, or when you have made a copy of it.

Important: ZIP files are supported. However, they are not the same as a directory/folder. It is important to ensure the file path provided to Roesti is not a directory.
