Portable EF CheckSum Manager is a small-sized software tool which was built specifically to aid people in actualizing the hash algorithm of any file, as well as verify it and bring up properties.

Since this is the portable edition of EF CheckSum Manager, it means you can easily skip the setup process. As a result, the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes and no leftovers will remain on disk after you delete it.

Most importantly, by copying the program files to an external data device, you make it possible to take Portable EF CheckSum Manager anywhere with you and run it on the fly, on any PC you come across.

This program enables you to view the entire contents of your hard drive as a folder structure, as well as view all files within a selected directory in another panel as a list, along with details such as name, size, modified date and time, attributes, checksum and format.

It is possible to open any item in their default program, copy, move, delete or rename files, bring up properties regarding them and export a list of all items displayed to a custom location, using a TXT, CSV or HTML extension.

In addition to that, you can map a network folder, actualize and verify checksums for a selected item, as well as create a checksum file, with support for SFV, MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512. Last but not least, backup and restore capabilities for settings are enclosed, so that you can use them at a later date.

CPU and memory usage is low at all times and therefore the system’s performance is not going to be affected. The interface is intuitive, the response time is not always 100%, yet we did not come across any errors, hangs or crashes in our tests. All in all, Portable EF CheckSum Manager proves to be a pretty efficient piece of software.
