Little MD5-Creator

Little MD5-Creator is a tiny application which lets you find out the MD5 signature of a file. Contrary to what its name might suggest, it does not allow you to create new MD5 values or modify existing ones.

This type of tool can be of assistance when you are planning to download large-sized files from the Internet, a task which could take a long time to complete. In order to verify the integrity of the respective files, you simply need to find out its MD5 hash.

The program is wrapped in a common interface with a simple layout. You can get started by opening a file whose MD5 checksum you want to find out, by using only the file browser, since "drag and drop" is not supported.

Aside from the MD5 signature, you can check out the location and size of the respective item. In the next step, you can type in a secondary checksum to check it with, or simply paste it from the Clipboard. Little MD5-Creator pops up a message dialog which tells you if the two values are equal or not.

You can refresh the checksum value, save it to an MD5 file, or copy it to the Clipboard. On top of that, you can make the frame stay on top of other windows, as well as switch to a different language for the interface.

Little MD5-Creator has a good response time, instantly displays results and uses a very low amount of CPU and system memory, so it doesn't interfere with the runtime of other currently active processes. We have not come across any issues throughout our testing, since the program did not hang or crash. Besides the fact that it's outdated, Little MD5-Creator can be handled by users of any level of experience.
