MD5 Checker

A simple file, of any type, contains more information than you think, for various reasons, including security. Unfortunately, Windows does not offer an obvious way to access such data, so, as always, third party applications are the best solution. If you need to view a file's MD5 hash value, you can use MD5 Checker to obtain it immediately. The procedure is very simple and you can also find other useful features, on the software's user friendly interface.

The size of the package is less than one MB, so you can download it from the Internet in a few seconds. The application is lightweight, which means that you can install it fast, on any Windows platform and it will not take long to complete the process. Furthermore, MD5 Checker is freeware, so you don't need to pay for it.

You may click a browsing option, on the software's compact interface to select a file. Once selected, its MD5 hash value will be displayed, in both upper and lower case. You may also compare this value with another one, to see if they are identical or not. All you need to do is copy an MD5 value to the clipboard and the application will tell you immediately if it matches or not.

The files you select are listed on the same interface, so there is no need to load a file a second time. Additionally, you may select an entire folder to import multiple files at once. Another useful feature is the possibility of exporting the files list, along with their MD5 hash values, in different formats. You can save the list as a plain text file or in HTML or CSV format.
