Drag and drop MD5 checksum

Drag and drop MD5 checksum is a small-sized software application that automatically calculates the MD5 hash of any file you specify. It doesn't include advanced options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users.

If you already have .NET Framework 3.5 installed, you don't need to run any other setup kits. The tool is wrapped in a single .exe file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or on a removable storage unit, in order to launch it on any machine to calculate MD5 checksums.

Worth noting is that, unlike many installers, this portable app doesn't bring any changes to the Windows registry or create additional files on the disk without your permission. In order to uninstall it, all you have to do is delete its .exe file.

The GUI is represented by a single window with a black background and green text, where you are informed that you can drop a file to find out its MD5 signature. The task is carried out instantly, after which you can either copy the hash to the Clipboard with the click of a button to paste it into another application, or drop a new file.

There are no other notable options available here. For instance, Drag and drop MD5 checksum doesn't support other hashes, cannot process multiple files at the same time, cannot be minimized to the systray, and doesn't implement an option for integrating it with the Windows Explorer right-click menu for easier access.

As we expected, it left a small footprint on system resources in our tests, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM. It didn't hang, crash or prompt errors. We haven't encountered any type of stability issues.

Drag and drop MD5 checksum offers a simple solution for calculating the MD5 hash of any file.
